- The National Football League playoffs for the 1990 season began on January 5, 1991. The postseason tournament concluded with the New York Giants defeating the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXV, 20–19, on January 27, at Tampa Stadium in Tampa, Florida. The league expanded its playoff system from a 10-team to a 12-team tournament, which remained in use through the 2019–20 NFL playoffs. With these changes, three wild-card teams (those non-division champions with the conference's best won-lost-tied percentages) qualified from each conference, up from two the year before. The format consisted of the following:
* The three division champions from each conference were seeded 1 through 3 based on their regular season won-lost-tied record.
* Three wild-card qualifiers were seeded 4, 5 and 6 within the conference. The 3 and 6 seeds played each other in one game and the 4 and 5 seeds in a second game, both making up what was dubbed the "Wild Card Round". The 1 and the 2 seeds from each conference did not participate in this round, earning an automatic berth in the following week's "Divisional Playoff" games, where they faced the Wild Card survivors. The 1-seeded team played against the lowest remaining seed while the 2 seed played the other remaining team. In a given game, whoever had the higher seed got the home field advantage. In addition, a rule stating that teams from the same division could not play against each other in the divisional round was abolished. In each conference, the matchup between the 3 and 6 seeds in the Wild Card Round dictated where the Wild Card Round winners traveled to for the Divisional Round:
* If the 3-seeded team won, they traveled to the 2-seeded team while the winner of the 4 vs. 5 matchup traveled to the 1-seeded team.
* If the 6-seeded team won, they traveled to the 1-seeded team while the winner of the 4 vs. 5 matchup traveled to the 2-seeded team. These changes forced the division winner with the worst record in each conference to play during the first round. However, it guaranteed that division winner a home game, unlike in the previous format where the highest seeded wild-card team earned a home playoff game while the lowest-seeded division winner, despite earning a bye, was forced to play the second-seeded or top-seeded division winner (based on the no-divisional matchup rule) and thus could not host any playoff game before their respective conference championship (provided that they were the highest remaining seed). This system was later modified before the 2002–03 NFL playoffs after the league realigned the teams into eight divisions (four per conference). The number of teams in the playoffs remained the same, but now there were four division champions and two wild-card teams from each conference. This system was kept until 2020. As of the 2021–22 playoffs, this is the last postseason in which all division winners won a playoff game. (en)
