NFL Teams: The Heart of American Football

The National Football League (NFL) is the most valuable sports league in the world, with a total franchise value exceeding $100 billion. It consists of 32 teams divided into two conferences (AFC and NFC), each with four divisions (North, South, East, West). The NFL regular season runs 17 weeks from September through January, followed by the playoffs and culminating in the Super Bowl - Usually held in early February and consistently the most-watched television event in the United States.

The league's history dates to 1920, when it was founded as the American Professional Football Association and renamed the NFL in 1922. Key moments include the "Greatest Game Ever Played" (the 1958 NFL Championship between the Baltimore Colts and New York Giants, which popularized professional football on television), Joe Namath's famous guarantee before Super Bowl III (which the New York Jets won), and "The Immaculate Reception" by Franco Harris in 1972.
