Wild Card Weekend is one of the most exciting weekends in all of sports. In a matter of days, the race to the Super Bowl can be turned upside down, thanks to grandiose upsets, last-minute nail-biters, and scrappy Hail Mary plays. Twelve of the 14 teams in the postseason will be in action for Wild Card Weekend: six division winners and six wild cards. Only the top seeds in the AFC and NFC received a bye to the divisional round.
Wild Card weekend was first introduced after the 1978 NFL season when each conference sent a second wild-card team to postseason play, setting up one extra round of playoffs. Every year, teams playing during Wild Card Weekend have a chance to make history: Only seven wild-card teams have ever gone on to win the Super Bowl. This year’s highly anticipated Wild Card Weekend will take place Jan. 14-16, 2023.
