A crucial aspect of following the NFL is understanding the standings. These rankings categorize teams based on their performance throughout the regular season. Wins, losses, and ties all factor in, with wins being the most valuable (awarding one point) and losses holding no points. Ties are a rare occurrence, but they earn both teams a half-point each.

The standings are typically divided by conference (American Football Conference – AFC and National Football Conference – NFC) and further segmented into divisions (East, West, North, and South). Each division winner automatically qualifies for the National Football League Playoffs, joined by three Wild Card teams from each conference with the best records.
