The 2016 regular season has been wrapped up and the road to Super Bowl LI continues with the playoffs.

The Dallas Cowboys, who finished the season 13–3 with rookie quarterback Dak Prescott, have the No. 1 seed for the NFC. The New England Patriots have the AFC's top seed with a 14–2 record as well despite Tom Brady's absence at the beginning of the season.
