Introduction

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 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 ranked by Forbes as the world’s most valuable sports league by total revenue with an estimated value of around US$63 billion in 2019. 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 nine of the top ten slots on Nielsen’s list of 100 most-watched series finale episodes.

The NFL’s executive officer is Commissioner Roger Goodell, who has held that position since 2006. The team with the most NFL championships is the Green Bay Packers with thirteen (nine pre-merger, and four Super Bowls).

NFL Teams

All 32 NFL teams are in action this week as the regular season enters its final stretch. Here’s a look at the matchups for Week 15:

Arizona Cardinals at Atlanta Falcons
The Cardinals have been one of the surprise teams in the NFL this season, but they will face a stiff test on the road against the Falcons. Atlanta has one of the best offenses in the league, led by quarterback Matt Ryan and wide receiver Julio Jones. The Falcons also have a strong defense, which could give Arizona trouble.

Baltimore Ravens at Buffalo Bills
The Ravens are coming off a big win over the Pittsburgh Steelers and will look to keep their momentum going against the Bills. Buffalo has been one of the most improved teams in the NFL this season, thanks in large part to their defense. The Bills are allowing just 19 points per game, which is third best in the league. Buffalo’s offense has struggled at times, but they should be able to put up enough points to win this game.

Carolina Panthers at Green Bay Packers
The Panthers have been one of the best teams in the NFL this season, thanks largely to their defense. Carolina is allowing just 17 points per game, which is second best in the league. The Panthers will face a tough test on the road against the Packers, who have one of the best offenses in the league. Green Bay is led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver Davante Adams. The Packers also have a strong defense, which could give Carolina trouble.

Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions
The Bears have struggled on offense for much of this season, but they should be able to put up enough points to win this game. Chicago’s defense has been one of the best in the NFL this season and they will face a Lions offense that has struggled mightily. Detroit has scoring just 21 points per game, which is 29th in the league.

Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns
The Bengals are coming off a big win over division rival Pittsburgh and will look to keep their momentum going against Cleveland. The Browns have been one of most improved teams in recent weeks and are led by quarterback Baker Mayfield. Cleveland’s offense has been much better since Mayfield took over as starter, but their defense remains a weakness. Cincinnati should be able to take advantage of that and come away with a win.
