Introduction

The NFL was formed in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association (APFA) before renaming itself the National Football League for the 1922 season. The NFL agreed to merge with the American Football League (AFL) in 1966, and the first Super Bowl was held at the end of that season; the merger was completed in 1970. Today, the NFL has the highest average attendance (67,591) of any professional sports league in the world and is the most popular sports league in the United States.

NFL Football Games

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 NFL is one of the four major North American professional sports leagues, the highest professional level of American football in the world, the wealthiest professional sport league by revenue, and the sport league with the most valuable teams. The NFL’s 17-week regular season runs from early September to late December, with each team playing 16 games and having one bye week. Following the conclusion of the regular season, seven teams from each conference (four division winners and three wild card teams) advance to the playoffs, a single-elimination tournament culminating in the Super Bowl, which is usually held on the first Sunday in February and is played between the champions of the NFC and AFC.

The NFL was formed in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association (APFA) before renaming itself to National Football League for the 1922 season. The NFL agreement allowed clubs to be based in any city, large or small, without territorial restrictions, although it did commit them to respect each other’s member clubs’ existing fan base in their home territories. This set up moderate competition for player signing and placement. With players spread out across the country from one another during this time period without much contact or familiarity with other players outside their own immediate teammates due to lack of communication technology at this time period; players were recruited more on their physical attributes rather than skill or familiarity with otherleague players. Players competed against unknown opponents every week during much of this league’s existence causing some call this era “The Dead Ball Era”. In 1966 AFL and NFL completed a merger that was approved by Congress creating today’s National Football League.
