The NFL playoffs are nearing the divisional round. Here is the updating bracket as we learn who’s in and out of the playoffs plus the matchups and the schedule.

Welcome to the 2024 NFL playoffs. The action begins with the Wild Card round this weekend featuring two games on Saturday, three games on Sunday and one game on Monday. Let’s dive into the full schedule.

Wild-card weekend in the NFL playoffs has begun, and it ends with Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9 in New Orleans. Here's the full schedule and bracket.

Let’s jump in with the rules, via the NFL’s Football Operations site: If the score is still tied at the end of an overtime period — or if the second team’s initial possession has not ended — the teams will play another overtime period. Play will continue regardless of how many overtime periods are needed for a winner to be determined.

When it comes to overtime, things can be kind of confusing in the NFL and that's because the league has a different set of rules for the playoffs that's not used in the regular season. The current overtime rules for the postseason were implemented in 2022 and they guaranteed that both teams would get at least one possession in overtime.
