Which NFL Conference is Better?

A look at which NFL Conference is better. The NFC has had a stranglehold on the title of best conference for a while now.

AFC vs NFC

The American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC) are the two conferences of the National Football League (NFL). Both conferences have their pros and cons, but which one is better?

Conference Championships

AFC vs NFC in the NFL Conference Championships. Who will win? The New England Patriots are representing the AFC in the Conference Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Los Angeles Rams are representing the NFC in the Conference Championship game against the New Orleans Saints.

Super Bowls

The NFC has won 27 of the 52 Super Bowls that have been played. That’s a winning percentage of .519. The AFC has won 25 times, for a winning percentage of .481. So the NFC has been slightly better than the AFC in Super Bowls. But since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, the NFC has won only 20 of 45 Super Bowls, or .444%. So the gap has closed considerably over the past 50 years.

Players

The National Football Conference (NFC) is made up of 16 teams, while the American Football Conference (AFC) has 14. The NFC has won 27 out of the 50 Super Bowls that have been played. In the past few years, the AFC has seen a resurgence in teams like the New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Baltimore Ravens.

Quarterbacks

When it comes to quarterbacks, the NFC has had a string of dominant players in recent years. In fact, the last three Super Bowl MVPs have all come from the NFC (Nick Foles, Tom Brady, and Eli Manning). The AFC has had its share of great quarterbacks as well, but currently doesn’t have a clear-cut top player at the position.

Some of the best quarterbacks in the NFL right now are:

-Drew Brees (New Orleans Saints)
-Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay Packers)
– Russell Wilson (Seattle Seahawks)
– Cam Newton (Carolina Panthers)

These four players have all been to multiple Pro Bowls and have led their teams to deep playoff runs.

Running Backs

In the National Football Conference (NFC), there are some die-hard fans who will tell you that their conference is the best. The same can be said of the American Football Conference (AFC). But which conference is really the best when it comes to Running Backs (RB)?

In order to make a fair assessment, we will look at the top 5 Running Backs in each conference. We will then compare their stats to see which conference comes out on top.

NFC:
1. Ezekiel Elliott – Dallas Cowboys
2. Saquon Barkley – New York Giants
3. Alvin Kamara – New Orleans Saints
4. Christian McCaffrey – Carolina Panthers
5. Dalvin Cook – Minnesota Vikings

AFC:
1. Derrick Henry – Tennessee Titans
2. Josh Jacobs – Oakland Raiders
3. Lamar Miller – Houston Texans
4. Mark Ingram – Baltimore Ravens
5. James Conner – Pittsburgh Steelers

Wide Receivers

In the NFC, the best receiver might be Odell Beckham Jr. of the New York Giants. Beckham is one of the most electric players in the NFL, and he’s coming off a season in which he caught 101 passes for 1,367 yards and 10 touchdowns. The NFC also has a plethora of other talented receivers, including Julio Jones of the Atlanta Falcons, Dez Bryant of the Dallas Cowboys, and Mike Evans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The AFC doesn’t have a receiver who is as talented as Beckham, but it does have a deep pool of very good receivers. The best receiver in the AFC might be Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Brown caught 106 passes for 1,284 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. The AFC also has other very good receivers such as A.J. Green of the Cincinnati Bengals, Larry Fitzgerald of the Arizona Cardinals, and Demaryius Thomas of the Denver Broncos.

Coaches

In the NFL, there are two conferences: the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). Each conference has 16 teams. The AFC has been around since 1970, while the NFC has been around since 1966.

Head Coaches

In the NFL, there are four conference winners and two wild card teams from each conference. The four conference winners advance to the playoffs. In the playoffs, the conference winners are seeded 1-4 based on their regular season record with the #1 seed getting a first-round bye. The #2 and #3 seeds play each other in the first round and the #4 seed plays the #1 seed. From there, it’s single elimination until a champion is crowned. Let’s take a look at some of the best coaches in each conference.

AFC:
-Bill Belichick, New England Patriots
-John Harbaugh, Baltimore Ravens
-Andy Reid, Kansas City Chiefs
-Sean McDermott, Buffalo Bills

NFC:
-Sean Payton, New Orleans Saints
– Pete Carroll, Seattle Seahawks
-Kyle Shanahan, San Francisco 49ers
-Matt LaFleur, Green Bay Packers

Offensive Coordinators

In the National Football League (NFL), the head coach of each team assigns responsibility for organizing that team’s offense to one of his assistant coaches. These offensive coordinators typically report directly to the head coach, but there are exceptions where a senior offensive assistant may have equal or slightly higher authority than the coordinator. In some instances, multiple coaches may control different units within the offense, such as quarterbacks and wide receivers.

The responsibilities of an NFL offensive coordinator can vary based on factors such as his talent, his head coach’s style, and the schemes utilized by that team’s offense. However, most offensive coordinators are responsible for some combination of play-calling, game planning, and player development.

Defensive Coordinators

In the NFL, there are four conferences: the NFC, AFC, NFC North, and AFC South. Each conference has four teams. The NFC is made up of the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, and Washington Redskins. The AFC is made up of the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, and Pittsburgh Steelers. The NFC North is made up of the Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, and Minnesota Vikings. The AFC South is made up of the Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Tennessee Titans.

The defensive coordinator is responsible for the defensive strategy of an NFL team. He decides what defensive plays will be run in a given situation and calls them during the game. He also prepares the team’s game plan each week and makes adjustments during the game if necessary.

There are many great defensive coordinators in the NFL today. Some of them are head coaches of their own team, while others are assistant coaches. Here are some of the best defensive coordinators in the NFL:

-Rod Marinelli (Dallas Cowboys)
-Mike Zimmer (Minnesota Vikings)
-Paul Guenther (Cincinnati Bengals)
– Marvin Lewis (Baltimore Ravens)

Fans

Conference realignment has produced some interesting debates among NFL fans. Some fans are adamant that their conference is the best, while others are more willing to concede that the other conference might be better.

AFC Fans

The American Football Conference (AFC) is one of the two conferences of the National Football League (NFL). The AFC was created after the NFL merged with the American Football League (AFL). In 1970, the AFL-NFL merger took full effect. The AFC consists of 16 teams organized into four divisions, each containing four teams: East, North, South, and West. As of the 2013 season, all but one of these teams (the Houston Texans) have origins dating back to the NFL’s founding in 1920; the Texans joined in 2002 as an expansion team. All but two teams (the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens) have won at least one Super Bowl.

The fans of teams in the AFC are some of the most dedicated fans in all of sports. They live and breath their team 365 days a year. They are always looking for ways to improve their team and make them better. They are always looking for new players to support and help their team win.

NFC Fans

There are a few key things that NFC fans can do to show their team spirit on game day. One is to wear as much team gear as possible. This includes jerseys, hats, and T-shirts. Another is to decorate their homes and cars with team flags and banners. Finally, they can make sure to attend as many home games as possible and watch the away games on TV or online.

NFC fans are also known for being some of the most diehard supporters in the NFL. They are often willing to travel long distances to see their team play. This can be seen in the large number of fans who attend away games, especially in divisional rivalries.
