The NFL playoffs are underway, and there are plenty of storylines to follow. Did the right teams make it in? Who’s going to come out on top? We’ll be discussing all of this and more in our blog.

What is the NFL?

The NFL is the National Football League, which is a professional American football league. The playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the regular season to determine the NFL champion. The playoffs have been held every year since 1933.

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 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. The Super Bowl is among the biggest club sporting events in the world and individual Super Bowl games account for many of the most watched television programs in American history, all occupying the Nielsen’s Top 5 tally of all-time broadcasts. The NFL’s executive officer is Commissioner Roger Goodell.

The NFL was formed in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association (APFA) before renaming itself the National Football League for the 1922 season.

In 1920, several professional football teams from Ohio and Pennsylvania decided to form the American Professional Football Association (APFA). The APFA was originally intended to be a league of 14-16 teams, but only four teams showed up to the first meeting: the Canton (Ohio) Bulldogs, the Clevelan Armature Club, the Dayton (Ohio) Triangles, and the Decatur Staleys (later renamed the Chicago Bears). With no other options, these four teams became charter members of the APFA. A second meeting was held later that year, at which time representatives of eleven additional clubs – many of them from smaller Midwestern towns – signed on to join the league. At this point, the APFA was renamed the National Football League.

The NFL began its inaugural season in 1920 with 14 teams. The playoffs began in 1933.

What is the playoffs?

The playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the regular season to determine the NFL champion. The tournament consists of four rounds of play. The first three rounds are referred to as the wild-card playoffs, or simply the wild-card weekend. The fourth round, held the following week, is called the divisional playoffs. The conference championships, the final two rounds of the playoffs, are then held.

The playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the end of the regular season to determine the NFL champion. The tournament culminates in the Super Bowl, which is usually held in early February and is played between the champions of the NFC and AFC.

The NFL playoffs were first held in 1933, when there were only four teams in the league. The tournament has expanded over the years to include six teams from each conference, for a total of 12 teams. In 1975, a wild card team was added to each conference, for a total of 16 teams. The current playoff format, which was adopted in 2014, features four teams from each conference: two division winners and two wild card teams.

The first official NFL playoffs were held in 1933, when the league split into two divisions, the Eastern and Western. The top team from each division would advance to the NFL Championship game. In 1967, the NFL expanded to four divisions (the Central, Pacific, Coastal, and East), and the playoff format changed to include four teams. The four division winners would advance to the conference championship games, with the winners advancing to the Super Bowl.

The playoff format has undergone several changes since then, but the basic idea remains the same: give the best team a chance to win it all.
