AFC East
The American Football Conference (AFC) East is a division of the National Football League (NFL). It has four teams: the Buffalo Bills, the Miami Dolphins, the New England Patriots, and the New York Jets.
AFC North
The AFC North is one of the four divisions of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). It was created before the 2002 season, when the league realigned divisions after expanding to 32 teams. It consists of four teams: the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, and Pittsburgh Steelers.
In football, each conference is further divided into two divisions: the East Division and West Division. The AFC North is part of the NFL’s American Football Conference (AFC), which itself contains 16 teams organized into two divisions: NFC North (4 teams) and NFC South (4 teams).
In total, there are 32 teams in the NFL which are split evenly between its two conferences: American Football Conference (AFC) and National Football Conference (NFC). Each conference has 16 total teams organized into 4 divisions: East, West, North, and South.
AFC South
The AFC South is a division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). It was created before the 2002 season when the conference’s realignment split into eight divisions. Four teams make up the division—the Indianapolis Colts, Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans.
The AFC South has been home to two Super Bowl winners: the Indianapolis Colts (Super Bowl XLI), who have won all three of their appearances in the game while representing the division, and the New Orleans Saints (Super Bowl XLIV), who won their only appearance while representing the NFC South.
AFC West
The AFC West is one of the eight divisions in the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). It currently contains four teams: the Denver Broncos, the Kansas City Chiefs, the Oakland Raiders, and the Los Angeles Chargers.
NFC East
The NFC East is made up of the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, and Washington Redskins. These teams are all located in the eastern United States. The NFC East is considered to be one of the most competitive divisions in the NFL.
NFC North
The NFC North is a division of the National Football League (NFL)’s National Football Conference (NFC). It consists of four teams: the Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, and Minnesota Vikings. The NFC North was formed prior to the 2002 season when the NFL realigned its divisions after expanding to 32 teams with the addition of the Houston Texans. Prior to that season, the Bears, Lions and Packers competed in the NFC Central, while the Vikings were in the NFC West.
The screwy thing about having four teams in each conference’s divisional structure is that not all conferences are created equal. In 2014, for example, Seattle and Arizona both made it to the playoffs out of the much tougher NFC West while Detroit and Green Bay both missed out despite playing in perhaps the weakest conference top-to-bottom, the NFC North.
NFC South
The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league consisting of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). The NFC South is one of the four divisions of the NFC, and contains four teams: the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Three other NFL divisions are also located in the southeastern United States: the AFC South (Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Tennessee Titans), the NFC East (Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants, and Washington Redskins), and the NFC West (Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers, and Seattle Seahawks).
NFC West
The NFC West is a division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL). It currently has four members: the Arizona Cardinals, the Los Angeles Rams, the San Francisco 49ers, and the Seattle Seahawks. The NFC West was formed in 1967 as the National Football League’s 16th conference.
