Who Will Play Tonight in the NFL Football League?

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 National Football League (NFL)

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 February and is played between the champions of the NFC and 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 effective with that season’s NFL championship game onward, edited AFC-NFC championship game that concluded that regular season. In 1970 following several years of rivalry, especially during which AFL teams won two consecutive Super Bowls ( SUPER BOWL III and SUPER BOWL IV ), AFL-NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle negotiated an agreement by which both leagues would merged into one combined league under Rozelle’s leadership; this new entity was to be called simply “the National Football League”, though it would retain both “National Football Conference” (NFC) and “American Football Conference” (AFC) divisional and conference titles until later adding “National” as a means of distinguishing it from earlier professional football leagues operating under similar names such as minor-leagueExamples include:

The American Football Conference (AFC)

The American Football Conference (AFC) is one of the two conferences of the National Football League (NFL), the largest professional American football league in the United States. This conference also hosts members from Canada. The AFC was created on June 8, 1970, following the merger of the American Football League (AFL) and the NFL. As a result of the merger, the combined league consisted of 26 teams in two conferences, with each conference having 13 teams.

From 1970 onwards, the AFC has 16 teams organized into four divisions each containing four teams: North, South, East, and West. Through realignment that has occurred since the merger (most notably in 2002), these divisions currently have a slightly different geographic composition from when they were first formed. Additionally, since 2002, the AFC Championship Game has been played at home sites alternating between Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama and Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida; this is because NFL owners voted to award hosting rights on a rotating basis as opposed to giving it permanently to either city.

The current AFC divisional alignment:
East: Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, New York Jets
North: Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers
South: Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans
West: Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders San Diego Chargers

The National Football Conference (NFC)

The NFC is made up of 16 teams, divided into four divisions: the East, West, North, and South. Each divisional winner makes the playoffs, as do the two teams with the best records in the conference who didn’t win their division (the so-called “wild card” teams).

In the first round of the playoffs, the divisional winners are seeded 1-4 based on their record, with the top seed getting a bye (a free pass to the second round). The wild card teams are seeded 5 and 6. In the second round, seeds 1 and 2 play each other, as do 3 and 4, and 5 and 6. The winners of those games then go on to play in the NFC Championship game, with the winner of that game going to the Super Bowl.

The current NFC divisional standings are as follows:

NFC East:
1. Dallas Cowboys (11-1)
2. New York Giants (9-3)
3. Philadelphia Eagles (6-6)
4. Washington Redskins (6-6)

NFC West:
1. Los Angeles Rams (11-1)
2. Seattle Seahawks (8-4)
3. Arizona Cardinals (3-9)
4. San Francisco 49ers (3-9)

NFC North:
1. Green Bay Packers (10-2)
2. Minnesota Vikings (8-4) Chicago Bears (7-5) likely to win division over Vikings due to tiebreaker rules Detroit Lions (5-7) out of playoff contention because they would need to win all three of their remaining games and have both Vikings and Bears lose all three of theirs NFC South: 1. New Orleans Saints (11-1): clinched division title 2 Carolina Panthers (6-6): currently in second place but could still be overtaken by Falcons 3 Atlanta Falcons (5-7): currently in third place but could still win division if they win all three of their remaining games 4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers: out of playoff contention because they would need to win all three of their remaining games and have both Panthers and Falcons lose all three of theirs

The Super Bowl

The Super Bowl is the biggest and most important American football game of the year. It is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL). The game is usually played on the first Sunday in February. It is the culmination of a regular season that begins in the late summer of the previous calendar year. Normally, Roman numerals are used to identify each game, rather than the year in which it is held. For example, Super Bowl XLVII was played in 2013.

-New England Patriots
-Pittsburgh Steelers
-Indianapolis Colts
