How it's played
American football is a battle for territory: teams of 11 have four plays (downs) to gain 10 yards or hand over the ball. Reaching the end zone is a touchdown for 6 points with a kick for an extra point, and field goals score 3. Across four quarters, the team with the most points wins.
A brief history of the NFL
William 'Pudge' Heffelfinger is paid $500 to play for the Allegheny Athletic Association — recognised as the first professional football player.
Team representatives meet in Canton, Ohio to found the American Professional Football Association, renamed the National Football League in 1922.
The NFL splits into Eastern and Western divisions and stages its first championship game, ending the era of the best record deciding the title.
The Colts' sudden-death overtime win over the Giants in the 1958 NFL Championship, televised nationally, is credited with launching football's march toward becoming America's most popular sport.
The rival American Football League signs stars and forces a merger agreement in 1966 that includes an annual AFL–NFL championship game — soon renamed the Super Bowl, first played in January 1967 and won by the Packers.
The merged league debuts the American and National Football Conferences, Monday Night Football launches, and the Super Bowl becomes television's biggest annual event.
Free agency and the salary cap arrive in the early 1990s, the Patriots' dynasty defines the 2000s, and international games and global streaming carry the NFL beyond American borders.
