How did the NFL playoff format become what it is today?

In this episode of Football Is Money, TheyKallMeBoss breaks down the evolution of the NFL postseason — from the early days with no true playoffs, to championship games, to the Super Bowl era, Wild Cards, byes, and the modern elimination structure.

This isn’t about who should be in or out.
It’s about why the format kept changing, what problems each expansion was meant to solve, and how the league balanced access with consequence.

The format may evolve — but the test never does.

If you want to understand how January football was built, why byes matter, and why elimination remains sacred in the NFL, this episode explains it clearly and completely.
