NFL Playoff Shift: Top Seed's Crucial Advantage
Update: 2025-11-29
Description
The NFLs playoff structure has evolved since 2020, with each conference now featuring a seventh playoff team. This change has heightened the significance of securing the number one seed, as its the only team to receive a first-round bye. Former NFL coach Sean Payton underscores the importance of home-field advantage and a bye week, recalling a tough loss that highlighted these benefits. While the top seed is crucial, teams like the Broncos have demonstrated the ability to win despite adversity. The new format intensifies the race for the top spot, making every regular-season game potentially more impactful in the pursuit of a championship.
