The NFL is an organization. It stands for national football league. It was founded in 1920. There currently is 32 teams playing. There is two conferences. The NFC and the AFC. Each conference is split into 4 divisions. The north, south, east and west. There is the NFC north consisting of the Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions. The AFC north consists of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Baltimore Ravens, the Cleveland Browns and the Cincinnati Bengals. The NFC east consists of the Philadelphia Eagles, the Washington Football team, the Dallas cowboys and the New York Giants. The AFC east consists of the Buffalo Bills, the New England Patriots, the Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets. The NFC west consists of the San Francisco 49ers, the Seattle Seahawks, the Los Angeles Rams and the Arizona Cardinals.

The NFC south consists of the Carolina Panthers, the New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Atlanta Falcons. The AFC south consists of the Tennessee Titans, the Indianapolis Colts, the Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans. There is 17 weeks of the regular season in the league where each team plays 16 games with one rest week. They play each team from their division twice a year and the other opponents vary each year. At the end of the regular season, the top team from each division makes the playoffs as well as the other teams that have good records. 14 teams are chosen. The teams that win move on the the next round and the teams that lose are eliminated. There is a wild card round first which eliminates 6 teams so 8 teams remaining. Then divisional rounds which eliminates 4 teams for a total of 4 left. Next conference championships eliminating 2 so 2 left and lastly the big day. Super bowl night where the winner is champion. The ball used are footballs. Other equipment include shoulder pads, knee pads and more. There is many positions in football. the offense is made of the offensive linemen who protect the quarterback from the defensive lineman, the quarterback who throws the ball, the wide receiver who catches the balls and tries to score. There is also tight ends who do blocking too as well as receiving. There is kickers and punters too. Lastly, there is the running back who mostly is handed the ball and tries to run into the end zone. The defense is made up of the defensive linemen who try to get past the offensive lineman so that they can sack or take down the quarterback. Lastly, there is safeties who try to intercept balls thrown by the quarterback. The football game has 4 quarters. Each being 15 minutes. There is breaks in-between quarters and a long one at halftime. One final thing is the scoring. If the quarterback finds a receiver in the end zone or the running back scores, then it it is called a touchdown. This is worth 6 points and there is an extra point if the kicker makes the extra point. A field goal is worth 3. When a team cannot get the required 10 yards in at max 4 tries, then they have to punt unless they are in field goal range where they can set up for the kick. I think football is only played in America.
