*** PLEASE REVIEW & RATE MY SITE *** The National Football League (
NFL) consisting of thirty-two teams from
American cities and regions. The league's teams are divided into two conferences:
the American Football Conference (AFC) and
the National Football Conference (NFC). Each conference is then
further divided into
four divisions consisting of four teams each, labeled East,
West,
North, and
South. During the league's regular season, each team plays sixteen
games over a seventeen-week period, generally from September to December. At
the end of each regular season,
six teams from each conference
play in the NFL playoffs, a twelve-team single-elimination tournament that culminates with the NFL championship, the
Super Bowl. This game is held at a pre-selected site which is usually a city that hosts an NFL team. The NFL was formed in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association (it adopted the
name National Football League in 1922). The NFL is
one of the major professional
sports leagues of North
America.
