Curious about how these standings are calculated or what happens when teams tie? Read our comprehensive FAQ section regarding NFL statistics.

What does W, L, and T mean?

W stands for Wins, L stands for Losses, and T stands for Ties. These numbers reflect a team’s overall regular-season record over the course of 17 games.

What is a Division Leader?

The Division Leader is the team with the best win-loss record within their specific 4-team division (e.g., AFC East, NFC North). Winning the division guarantees a playoff spot.

What happens if two teams tie in the standings?

If two teams finish with the exact same record, the NFL uses a strict set of tie-breaking procedures. The first tie-breaker is usually head-to-head win percentage, followed by their win percentage in divisional games.

What does “Top Seed” mean?

The Top Seed (No. 1 seed) in each conference is the team with the absolute best overall record. This team earns a highly coveted “bye” week during the first round of the playoffs and secures home-field advantage.
