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 by far the most popular sports league in North America.

How the NFL Works

The NFL agreed to merge withAAfC head Joe Carr had proposed merging his league with it in April 1920. At its inception, there were nine franchises based in two regions: four in Ohio (three in Canton), three in Illinois, and two more —the New York Giants and Buffalo All-Americans—in New York State.

The Standings

In the NFL, there are 32 teams that are divided into two conferences. The American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). Each conference is then split into four divisions. The AFC has the East, West, North, and South. While the NFC has the East, West, North, and South. In total, there are eight divisions in the NFL.

The NFL regular season is 17 weeks long. During that time each team plays 16 games. They play one game against each team in their division twice. Which means they play six games. They also play one game against two teams in each of the other divisions in their conference. That’s four games outside of their division in their conference. AFC teams play NFC teams and vice versa. In total, a team will play ten games against other division opponents and six games against opponents from other divisions in their conferences. Lastly, each team has two “Byes” during the season where they do not play a game
