2025 NFL Playoffs: Updated Bracket, Final Super Bowl Picture and Full Schedule

Boy oh boy, have the 2025 NFL playoffs been interesting. Let's take a minute to reflect on the last month, shall we?

The postseason began as follows: The Seahawks were in charge of the No. 1 seed in the NFC, despite failing to make the playoffs since 2022. And in the AFC, the Broncos had that honor thanks to second-year QB Bo Nix, who last season helped the team snag its first postseason berth in almost ten years. Even crazier, missing from the field were the Patrick Mahomes-led Chiefs, who crashed and burned this season despite three consecutive Super Bowl appearances, as well as Lamar Jackson and Baltimore, who lost their longtime head coach after a disappointing season.

Now, we are all the way to the post-conference championship stage. On Sunday, the Patriots eliminated the No. 1-seeded Broncos, who turned to backup QB Jarrett Stidham in the wake of Bo Nix's tragic ankle injury, and the Seahawks nixed the Rams in a legendary performance from long-doubted Sam Darnold. Both teams clinched their respective conference titles, which means both teams—one with a second-year QB and first-year head coach, and the other with a semi-journeyman signal-caller—have punched their ticket to the Super Bowl.

So, as we head into what is hopefully a thrilling championship game, let's take a look back at both the road that led us here and the path ahead, including the original playoff seeding, the scores of every previous layoff matchup, and the info you need to know to enjoy the season finale at Levi's Stadium on Feb. 8.
