[edit] NFL playoff results 1967-1969
Prior to 1967, the NFL featured only a single championship game, played between the winners of its two conferences. 1967 was the first year where a playoff (rather than regular season results) determined participation in the championship.

[edit] NFL Wildcard round game results 1978-present
In 1978, the NFL expanded its playoffs pool from 8 to 10 teams, requiring the addition of another round of playoffs. From 1978-1989, this round featured one game per conference between the two wild-card (non-division winners) and thus the name "Wildcard" round. The playoffs expanded to 12 teams for the 1990 season, and an additional game was added to this week.
[edit] NFL Divisional round game results 1970-present
Starting with the 1970 merger with the American Football League the NFL expanded its playoffs to 8 teams total. The round of 8 has traditionally been known as the "Divisional" round.

- Note: Since the AFL-NFL Merger, the playoffs have generally been held over two calendar years. For example, the Indianapolis Colts are regarded as the 2006 NFL Champions even though the Super Bowl was in February 2007.
