About the NFC Wild Card Game
NFL fans love their regular season games, but it’s the playoff season that really gets them excited about their teams. The road to Super Bowl 57 starts with division playoffs, and the NFC Wild Card Game is always a spectator favorite.
The Wild Card matchups are Number 7 seed at Number 2 seed, Number 6 seed at Number 3 seed, and Number 5 seed at Number 4 seed. Those teams with the best overall records in their conferences will receive a bye in this Wild Card round and will also host the lowest remaining seed when it’s time for the divisional round.
