season</b> was the 71st <a href="/wiki/Regular_season_(NFL)" class="mw-redirect" title="Regular season (NFL)">regular season</a> of the <a href="/wiki/National_Football_League" title="National Football League">National Football League</a> (NFL). To increase revenue, the league, for the first time since <a href="/wiki/1966_NFL_season" title="1966 NFL season">1966</a>, reinstated bye weeks, so that all NFL teams would play their 16-game schedule over a 17-week period. Furthermore, the playoff format was expanded from 10 teams to 12 teams by adding another wild card from each conference, thus adding two more contests to the postseason schedule; this format was modified with realignment in 2002 (increasing the division spots per conference from three to four, and decreasing the wild card spots per conference from three to two) before the playoffs expanded to 14 teams in 2020. </p><p>During four out of the five previous seasons under the 10-team format, at least one team with a 10–6 record missed the playoffs, including the <a href="/wiki/1985_Denver_Broncos_season" title="1985 Denver Broncos season">11–5 Denver Broncos</a> in 1985; meanwhile, three years later, the <a href="/wiki/1988_San_Francisco_49ers_season" title="1988 San Francisco 49ers season">10–6 San Francisco 49ers</a> won <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_XXIII" title="Super Bowl XXIII">Super Bowl XXIII</a>, leading for calls to expand the playoff format to ensure that 10–6 teams could compete for a Super Bowl win. Ironically, the first sixth-seeded playoff team would not have a 10–6 record, but instead, the New Orleans Saints, with an <a href="/wiki/1990_New_Orleans_Saints_season" title="1990 New Orleans Saints season">8–8 record</a>, took the new playoff spot. </p><p>The season ended with <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_XXV" title="Super Bowl XXV">Super Bowl XXV</a> when <a href="/wiki/1990_New_York_Giants_season" title="1990 New York Giants season">the New York Giants</a> defeated <a href="/wiki/1990_Buffalo_Bills_season" title="1990 Buffalo Bills season">the Buffalo Bills</a> 20–19 at <a href="/wiki/Tampa_Stadium" title="Tampa Stadium">Tampa Stadium</a>.
