Now and then during a Sunday or a Monday game they put up the NFL standings and I see the word "Wild Card"
Under these two words there are 2 to 3 NFL team

What does this "Wild Card" mean ?

This should pretty much explain it:

The short explanation is it is the game to determine which of the non winning teams gets a chance to play the division champions in the playoffs. We just love underdogs and it's a way to give one a chance to go all the way.
