1982–83 NFL Playoffs
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 time that NFL playoff games were regionally televised across the United States instead of nationwide. (Since the 2022-23 NFL season, one first round playoff game is regionally televised in the primary markets only of the two playing teams.) This year was also the only season in which the conference cha ...
