The National Football League playoffs for the 1982 season began on January 8, 1983. The postseason tournament concluded with the Washington Redskins defeating the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl XVII, 27–17, on January 30, at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. Because of the eight-game first round, this was the first (and currently only) time that NFL playoff games were regionally televised across the United States instead of nationwide. This year was also the only season in which the conference championship games were played on separate days.

  • The National Football League playoffs for the 1982 season began on January 8, 1983. The postseason tournament concluded with the Washington Redskins defeating the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl XVII, 27–17, on January 30, at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. A players' strike reduced the regular season to nine games. Thus, the league used a special 16-team playoff format (dubbed the "Super Bowl Tournament"), just for this year. Division standings were ignored (although each division did send at least one team to the playoffs). Eight teams from each conference were seeded 1–8 based on their regular season records. Because of the eight-game first round, this was the first (and currently only) time that NFL playoff games were regionally televised across the United States instead of nationwide. This year was also the only season in which the conference championship games were played on separate days. In addition, it marked the first time in NFL history in which a team that qualified for the playoffs had a losing record (< .500), as both Cleveland and Detroit finished with 4–5 records (.444). Both teams lost in the first round of the playoffs. This feat went unmatched until the 2010 Seattle Seahawks and 2020 Washington Football Team won their division with a 7–9 (.438) record (the Seahawks were the first such team to accomplish this in a full-length season; they also were the first sub-.500 team to win a playoff game, as well). However, it is not the only time that teams with non-winning records (≤ .500) have made the playoffs. Since 1978, eleven teams with an 8–8 record have made the playoffs: eight wild cards: 1990 Saints, 1991 Jets, 1999 Lions, 1999 Cowboys, 2004 Vikings, 2004 Rams, 2006 Giants, and the 2020 Bears; as well as three division winners: 1985 Browns, 2008 Chargers, and the 2011 Broncos. Also, the 2014 Panthers won their division with a 7-8-1 (.469) record and became the fourth team (and the second that played a full 16-game season) to qualify for the playoffs with a sub-.500 record. The expanded playoff format made it possible for teams to host three games in the postseason, and as it happened the conference champions (Washington and Miami) were their conferences' top remaining seeds for their conference championship games and thus both hosted three playoff games. Under the normal format in force at the time, this was not possible since the teams winning in the wild card round always played away to teams that had byes to the divisional round. However, one team hosting three NFL playoff games is again possible starting with the 2020-21 NFL playoffs when the field was expanded to seven teams per conference. Under the current format if at least one division champion in a conference wins in the wild card round then a division champion will host games in both the wild card and divisional rounds, and can potentially host the conference championship game as well if and when they advance and the number one seed (now the only team with a bye) loses in the divisional round. The first team to host three playoff games in the fourteen team playoff format was the 2021 Kansas City Chiefs (AFC West winners and #2 seed; hosted #7 Pittsburgh, #3 Buffalo, and #4 Cincinnati), the first time since 1982-83 where any team has hosted three playoff games.
