The regular season is over following 18 weeks of truly good football, and only the best can move on. It’s time for the 2023 NFL Playoffs to begin, where 14 teams will seek to reach Super Bowl LVII this February in Glendale, Arizona. Therefore, in this article you will be able to know at the moment pairings, schedules, venues, and everything you should keep in mind for the postseason Wild Card Round.
Firstly, it should be remembered that there are seven teams that qualify for the playoffs by conference, and practically everything is already defined. However, let’s remember that in the AFC, the MNF of Week 17 between the Bills and Bengals was canceled due to the medical emergency of S Damar Hamlin. Therefore, with Buffalo and Kansas City battling for the top seed and both winning their Week 18 games, if they meet in the 2023 AFC Championship Game, the match will be played at a neutral venue to be defined. In any other case, the best seed will be local.
Without further ado, this is how the first week of the 2023 NFL Playoffs, the Wild Card Round, will take place:
