The 2002-03 NFL playoffs followed the 2002 NFL season and concluded with Super Bowl XXXVII. Prior to the 2002-03 season, the league realigned its teams into eight divisions (four in each conference). Thus, the 12-team playoff format was modified. The league still abides by this updated system today: * The four division champions are seeded 1 through 4 based on their regular season won-lost-tied record. * Two "wild card" qualifiers (those non-division champions with the conference's best won-lost-tied percentages) are seeded 5 and 6 within the conference.
