Okay, so, let’s talk about the 2014 NFL playoff bracket. Man, that was a wild ride! I remember it like it was yesterday. I was glued to the TV for every single game. I spent a lot of time to collect all the materials and finally made it into a whole piece.

Collecting Information
First thing I did was to jump online and started searching for the bracket. I went to a whole bunch of websites, it took a lot of time to find the real one I need. Not just the bracket, I wanted all the details – dates, times, the whole shebang. The official NFL site was okay, but honestly, Wikipedia had a pretty good breakdown, too. I grabbed all that stuff and saved it.

Organizing the Bracket
Once I had all the info, I started putting the bracket together. I am not a professional designer or something, so I just used a simple online tool. Nothing fancy, but it got the job done. I made sure to double-check all the matchups and seeds, especially the wild card teams, seeded 5-6. The NFL doesn’t stick to a fixed bracket, so you gotta pay attention to that, you know. No restrictions for teams from the same division playing each other, which can make things interesting.
