Regarding the NFL postseason, the No. 1 seed in each conference gets a bye week for the playoff s’ first round - the Wild Card round.

First, as a captain going drafting against Giannis Antetokounmpo, and later during a celebration honoring him for setting the league's all-time scoring record earlier this month.
