The 2020 NFL season has certainly been a unique one for various different reasons, and the playoff schedule is no different.
Prior to the season, the NFL agreed to expand the playoffs from 12 to 14 teams – four division winners plus three wild-card teams in each conference. With an odd number of teams playing reaching the postseason, that means only the top seed in each conference gets a bye, while we the fans get an extra two games for wild-card weekend.
There was a possibility the NFL would have added a Week 18 due to COVID-19 issues, but fortunately for the league that did not become a problem. Here is what the schedule looks like.
