The 2011–12 NFL playoffs following the 2011 regular season will begin on January 7, 2012, and end with Super Bowl XLVI on February 5 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.
This will be the second postseason that the modified playoff overtime rules will be in effect. Under these rules, instead of a straight sudden death, the game will not immediately end if the team that wins the coin toss only scores a field goal on its first possession (the game will end if they score a touchdown). Instead, the other team gets a possession. If the coin toss loser then scores a touchdown, it is declared the winner. If the score is tied after both teams had a possession, then it goes back to sudden death. It will be the first playoff appearance in the Houston Texans' history.
The Green Bay Packers currently hold the title as Super Bowl Champions after their 31–25 victory in Super Bowl XLV over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
