NFL playoff bracket 2022

As with 2021, there's a 14-team playoff field this year. Here's how they're seeded and their opening weekend matchup:

Kansas City Chiefs (No. 2 seed, 12-5) vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (No. 7 seed, 9-7-1)

The Steelers needed the help of the Jaguars (what an NFL world we live in) to have a shot to make it to the playoffs, and goodness gracious, the Jags did it. Now, Mike Tomlin and the Steelers have an opportunity to send Ben Roethlisberger out into the sunset.

Buffalo Bills (No. 3 seed, 11-6) vs. New England Patriots (No. 6 seed, 11-6)

Welcome to the dance, Mac Jones. The Patriots and the Bills went down to the wire for the AFC East, and after a sloppy, gross game vs. the Jets, the Bills ultimatley emerged with the division. Now, in an AFC East rubber match, the Patriots get an opportunity to get even with the Bills and render their division victory null.

Cincinnati Bengals (No. 4 seed, 10-7) vs. Las Vegas Raiders (No. 5 seed, 10-7)

The job that Raiders interim head coach Rich Bisaccia has done is admirable. Coming down to overtime in Week 18 vs. the division-rival Chargers, the Raiders took home the win and punched their ticket to the playoffs in spite of a tremendously trying season, for various reasons.

Tampa Bay Buccaneeers (No. 2 seed, 13-4) vs. Philadelphia Eagles (No. 7 seed, 9-8)

Expect the expected — and the unexpected. Everyone thought the Buccaneers, running it back after their Super Bowl 55 win, would make the playoffs. Not many expected that Jalen Hurts, Nick Sirianni and the Eagles would make the playoffs.

Dallas Cowboys (No. 3 seed, 12-5) vs. San Francisco 49ers (No. 6 seed, 10-7)

Time to jump in the way-back machine: The Cowboys and the 49ers meeting in the playoffs is something ripped straight from the '80s and '90s but with a modern twist.

Los Angeles Rams (No. 4 seed, 12-5) vs. Arizona Cardinals (No. 5 seed, 11-6)

The Cardinals stumbled into the playoffs, going 2-4 since their Bye Week to finish the season, ultimately handing the NFC West to the Rams. Now, the two teams meet in a rubber match for their 2021 series, but this time, the stakes are much, much higher.
