The two No. 1 seeds in the NFL playoffs get a bye to the divisional round. Here's how those teams have fared since postseason expansion.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes says he's aiming to be ready for week one of the 2026 NFL season after knee surgery in December."I want to be ready for week one," he said, looking toward a 2026 campaign that will start on September 10.

"I want to be ready for Week 1. The doctors said I could," Mahomes said, "but I can't predict what happens throughout the process. That's the goal, to play Week 1 and have no restrictions. You want to be out there healthy and give us the best chance to win. I hope to do some things in OTAs and training camp and be able to do things there."

With just one game remaining in the 2025 regular season, the NFL playoff picture is nearly complete. It was a dramatic end to the season, with several division titles still up in the air heading into Week 18, as the NFC South, AFC South and AFC North all came down to the wire.
