The teams were the Akron Pros, Chicago Cardinals, Chicago Tigers, Cincinnati Reds, Detroit Horseshoes, Hammond Pros, New York Giants, Pittsburgh Pirates, Rochester Jeffersons, Rock Island Independents and Decatur Staleys. The Decatur Staleys later became the Chicago Bears.

The Chicago Tigers and Pittsburgh Pirates folded after one season. The Akron Pros won the first NFL Championship.

How is NFL Football Played?

American Football, orNFL Football, as it is called in America, is a very popular sport. The objective of the game is to score points by carrying the ball into the opponent’s end zone. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins. Let’s take a look at how the game is played.

The field

A football field is 100 yards long and 53.3 yards wide. At each end of the field is an end zone, which is 10 yards deep. The playing field has hash marks that are 1 yard apart and help to determine placement for downs. In addition, there is a white line that goes down the middle of the field, which is called the 50-yard line.

The players

National Football League (NFL) football is a competitive sport played by two teams of 11 players each. The object of the game is to score points by carrying the ball into the opponent’s end zone or kicking it through the opponent’s goal posts.

Each team has four downs (chances) to advance the ball 10 yards or lose possession of the ball, whichever comes first. If a team reaches fourth down without gaining 10 yards, it may choose to punt (kick) the ball to the other team in hopes that it will not be able to advance it as far.

The offensive team (the team with the ball) can score touchdowns and field goals. A touchdown is worth six points and is scored when a player carrying the ball crosses into the opponent’s end zone. A field goal is worth three points and is scored when the ball is kicked through the opponent’s goal posts.

After each touchdown, both teams have an opportunity to score an extra point by kicking the ball through their opponent’s goal posts (worth one point) or by carrying or throwing it into their end zone (worth two points).

The defensive team can score points by tackling an offensive player in his own end zone (a safety), which is worth two points, or by returning an interception (a pass caught by a defensive player) for a touchdown.

The game

Two teams of 11 players each take the field and try to score points by advancing the ball into the other team’s end zone. The game is played with a point system, and the team that scores the most points in a given amount of time wins the game.

Each team has an offense and a defense. The offense tries to move the ball down the field by throwing it or running with it, while the defense tries to stop them. The offense has four downs, or chances, to move the ball at least 10 yards. If they don’t make 10 yards in four downs, then they have to give the ball to the other team.

The game is divided into four quarters, each lasting 15 minutes. There is a break between the first and second quarters, and another break between the third and fourth quarters. There is also a half-time break at halftime, which lasts about 12 minutes.

Teams can score points in several ways:
-A touchdown is worth six points and is scored when a player on offense carrying or catching the ball crosses into the end zone. After scoring a touchdown, teams can either kick an extra point (worth one point) or go for two points (worth two points).
-A field goal is worth three points and is scored when a player on offense kicks the ball through goal posts that are placed at each end of the end zone.

Safety is worth two points and is scored when:
-The offensive team fumbles or throws an interceptions (a pass that’s caught by defensive player) in their own end zone and a defensive player recovers it; or
-A defender tackles an offensive player in their own end zone

What are the Rules of NFL Football?

American football, referred to as football in the United States and Canada and also known as gridiron, is a team sport played by two teams of eleven players on a rectangular field with goalposts at each end.

The basic rules

There are a few basic rules that govern NFL football. The most important rule is that there are only 11 players on the field for each team at one time. This includes the goalkeeper. Each team must have a minimum of 7 players on the field to start a game, and if a team does not have enough players, they forfeit the game.

The game is played on a rectangular field that is 100 yards long and 53.3 yards wide. At each end of the field there is an end zone that is 10 yards deep. The field is marked with lines every 5 yards so that it is easy to see where each team should be positioned.

The basic objective of the game is to score points by getting the ball into the opposing team’s end zone. This can be done by carrying the ball into the end zone, or by catching a pass in the end zone. Points can also be scored by kicking the ball through the opponent’s goal posts (field goals), or by tackling the opposing team’s quarterback in their own end zone (safety).

The game is divided into four quarters, each lasting 15 minutes. If the score is tied at the end of regulation time, then overtime periods may be played until a winner can be determined.

Each team has 4 downs (attempts) to move the ball 10 yards closer to their opponents end zone. If they are successful in doing this, then they earn another set of 4 downs and they continue moving towards their goal. If they are unsuccessful in gaining 10 yards after 4 downs, then they must turn over possession of the ball to their opponents who will then start from their own 10 yard line.

Penalties

A penalty in American football is a sanction called against a team for a violation of the rules, called a foul. Penalties generally result in loss of yards, and they may result in a down being replayed from a previous spot (i.e., an offensive penalty results in the offensive team losing the chance to advance the ball on that play), or they may result in the defense being awarded possession of the ball (i.e., a defensive penalty results in the offensive team losing their right to keep possession of the ball).

The scoring system

In NFL football, the team that scores the most points wins the game. There are four ways to score points in football:

-Touchdown: 6 points
-Extra point: 1 point (after a touchdown, the team can choose to kick the ball through the goalposts for 1 point, or go for 2 points by trying to score another touchdown from the 2-yard line)
-Field goal: 3 points (if the team cannot score a touchdown, they can kick the ball through the goalposts from anywhere on the field)
-Safety: 2 points (awarded to the defense if they tackle an offensive player in their own end zone)

How do NFL Football Teams Win?

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 professional sports leagues in North America, and the highest professional level of American football in the world. The NFL’s 17-week regular season runs from the week after Labor Day to the week after Christmas, with each team playing 16 games and having one bye week. Following the conclusion of the regular season, six teams from each conference (four division winners and two wild card teams) advance to the playoffs, a single-elimination tournament culminating in the Super Bowl, which is usually held in the first Sunday in February and is played between the champions of the NFC and AFC.

The playoffs

In order to win the Super Bowl, a team must first make it through the playoffs. The NFL playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the end of the regular season. The six highest-ranked teams from each conference (the four division winners and two wild card teams) are seeded and enter the tournament. The playoffs are structured so that each round features two games between teams from different conferences, except for the Super Bowl itself, which pits the winner of the AFC against the winner of the NFC.

The first round of the playoffs, known as the Wild Card round, features four games. The three division winners in each conference are seeded first through third, and the two wild card teams are seeded fourth and fifth. The fourth seed hosts the fifth seed, and the first seed hosts the lowest remaining seed (either the second or third seed). The winners of these two games advance to the Divisional round.

In the Divisional round, the top remaining seed in each conference hosts one of the lower remaining seeds. For example, if the fourth seed wins its Wild Card game, it will play either the first or second seed in the Divisional round (depending on whether or not there is an upset in another game). The winners of these two games advance to their respective conference’s championship game.

Finally, in each conference’s championship game, one team will earn a spot in Super Bowl LIII by defeating its conference’s other top contender.

The Super Bowl

The National Football League (NFL) is the highest level of professional American football. It was formed by eleven teams in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association, with the league changing its name to the National Football League in 1922. The league currently consists of thirty-two teams from the United States. The league is divided evenly into two conferences — the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC), and each conference has four divisions that contain four teams each, for a total of sixteen teams in each conference. At the end of the regular season, six teams from each conference (four division winners and two wild card teams) advance to the playoffs, a single-elimination tournament that culminates in the Super Bowl, which is usually held in early February and is played between the champions of the AFC and NFC.
