Founded in 1920
The NFL was founded 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 American television ratings since 1975.
Merger with the AFL in 1970
In 1970, the NFL completed its merger with the American Football League (AFL), effective for the 1970 season. Under the merger agreement, the two leagues would hold a common draft and championship game (later called the Super Bowl). The AFL was originally conceived as a sort of minor league to the NFL, but rapidly evolved into a rival American football league.
In 1966, the NFL expansion added six new franchises, including three former AFL teams: the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals. After one year of play, these teams were assigned to either the Eastern or Western Conference based on their geographic location. TheBuffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins were placed in the Eastern Conference whilethe Cincinnati Bengals were placed in the Western Conference.

San Francisco 49ers vs. New Orleans Saints, January 3, 2010
On January 3, 2010, the 15-1 San Francisco 49ers hosted the 13-3 New Orleans Saints in an NFC Divisional Playoff game. The Saints were coming off a first-round bye and had won nine straight games. The 49ers, meanwhile, had won their final four games to clinch the NFC West title and earn a first-round bye.
In a back-and-forth affair, the two teams combined for 103 points, the most ever in a playoff game. The Saints took a 21-17 lead early in the second quarter, but the 49ers responded with 24 unanswered points to take a 41-21 lead late in the third quarter.
The Saints would not go away quietly, however. They scored 14 fourth-quarter points, including a touchdown with just over two minutes remaining, to cut the 49ers’ lead to 41-35. But the 49ers were able to hold on for the win, thanks in large part to a late interception by safety Dashon Goldson.
With the win, the 49ers advanced to the NFC Championship game where they would lose to eventual Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints.
