National Football League on television
This led to controversy in 2007 , when the New England Patriots were scheduled to play the New York Giants at Giants Stadium in their regular season finale on the NFL Network , in what was to be a chance to complete the first 16 -- 0 regular season in NFL history . After the Senate Judiciary Committee threatened the NFL 's antitrust exemption if it did not make the game available nationwide , the NFL relented and made the game the first in league history to be simulcast on three networks . The game aired on the NFL Network , as planned ; on NBC , which would normally have the rights to prime time games ; and , since the away team was an AFC team , on CBS . ( WCVB in Boston holds the rights to the NFL 's syndicated package for Patriots games , causing this game to be available on 3 over-the - air stations in the Boston TV market ) . This however , did not lead to the NFL offering this package to other channels ; the games remain on the NFL Network as of 2013 , although it should be noted that cable coverage of NFL Network has increased in the intervening period .

American football rules
Each team receives three timeouts per half ( if the game goes to overtime , each team receives additional timeouts ) , making for a total of six timeouts per team in a regulation game . Unused timeouts may not carry over to the second half or overtime . In professional football , a team must have at least one remaining timeout to challenge an official 's call .
History of the National Football League
Unlike previous armed conflicts such as World War I and World War II , both of which effectively stopped or dramatically reduced the amount of professional football played in the United States , both the AFL and NFL were largely unaffected by the Vietnam War and did not lose a significant number of players to the war draft . There is at least one recorded incidence of the NFL using champagne units to keep its players from being sent overseas ( the Dallas Cowboys used the Texas Air National Guard 's 147th Fighter Interceptor Group , a well - known champagne unit to shield seven Cowboys players from combat in Vietnam ) . Bob Kalsu , then a player with the AFL 's Buffalo Bills , left the team to serve in Vietnam and died in combat ; he was the only casualty of the Vietnam War that the league would sustain . ( Don Steinbrunner , who briefly played for the Cleveland Browns , also died in Vietnam , but he left the NFL over a decade before his deployment there . )

National Football League on television
The NFL 's anti-siphoning regulations affect both Monday Night Football and half of Thursday Night Football , which air on cable ( ESPN and NFL Network , respectively ) . In the markets of the participating teams , the respective cable channel is blacked out . ESPN games air via broadcast syndication to an over-the - air station . Typically , the team 's flagship station for the preseason games will hold such rights , as teams will usually sell the preseason , local ESPN , and if the CBS affiliate in that market declines the option , the NFL Network games as one package . Only over-the - air stations in the market of the participating teams ( with the Green Bay Packers having two such markets ) may bid on this syndicated package . Starting in 2014 , CBS affiliates in the primary markets in question have the primary option to NFL Network - only games ; if the local affiliate declines the option ( as was in Cincinnati ) , the NFL will implement the same syndicated package rule . In 2016 with the TNF package split between CBS and NBC , this now depends on which network produces the game for NFL Network .
List of New England Patriots seasons
The modern NFL championship game , the Super Bowl , was founded in the 1966 season ; the first four were contested between the champions of the AFL and the NFL . After the merger , the Super Bowl became the united league 's championship . The Patriots made the 1963 AFL Championship Game , but struggled severely in the early years of the united league , not making the postseason until 1976 . After a few good seasons including a Super Bowl appearance against a champion Bears outfit , the Patriots reached a nadir between 1989 and 1993 when they won only 19 of 80 games .

National Football League on television
In 2006 , the schedule was cut to three Saturday games , which aired in primetime and were televised on the NFL Network in December . In 2008 , this was changed to only one Saturday game , still aired in primetime on the NFL Network , which was the policy through 2011 . For the 2012 season , ESPN aired the lone Saturday game in primetime . No Saturday game was scheduled in 2013 , the first time since the 1970 merger that the NFL did not play any regular season games on Saturday .

American football rules
The defunct World Football League , in its first season of 1974 , used an overtime system more analogous to the system long used in international soccer . The overtime consisted of one 15 - minute period , which was played in its entirety and divided into two halves of 71⁄2 minutes each , with each half starting with a kickoff by one of the teams . The league changed to the NFL 's sudden - death format for its final season in 1975 .

2008 New England Patriots season
Despite entering the last week of the season with a three - game winning streak , the Patriots found themselves not controlling their own destiny . In addition to a Week 17 win , they also needed either a Dolphins loss to win the AFC East , or a Baltimore Ravens loss to earn a wild card berth . However , both Baltimore and Miami won , and the Dolphins , Ravens and Patriots each finished the season with an 11 -- 5 record . Miami qualified for the playoffs by winning the AFC East division over the Patriots on the fourth divisional tiebreaker ( better conference record : 8 -- 4 to 7 -- 5 ) . Baltimore qualified for the playoffs as a wild card team , defeating the Patriots on the second wild card tiebreaker ( better conference record : 8 -- 4 to 7 -- 5 ) .
Football
The various codes of football share certain common elements and can be grouped into two main classes of football : carrying codes like American football , Canadian football , rugby union and rugby league , where the ball is moved about the field while being held in the hands or thrown , and kicking codes such as Association football and Gaelic football , where the ball is moved primarily with the feet , and where handling is strictly limited .
New England Patriots
The New England Patriots feature 22 former players and two contributors in their team hall of fame , established in 1991 . A committee of media and staff selected 11 players for enshrinement between 1991 and 2001 , before a six - year span of no selections . In 2007 , in advance of the 2008 opening of The Hall at Patriot Place , the Patriots introduced a new nomination committee to select three candidates , with the winner of an Internet fan vote being enshrined in the hall of fame . In order to be eligible , players and coaches must be retired for at least four years . Beginning in 2011 , and meeting every five years , a senior selection committee has the option of voting a player who has been retired for at least 25 seasons into the hall of fame .
American football rules
NFL Europa , a defunct league run by the NFL , used a 10 - minute overtime period , with the constraint that each team must have the opportunity of possession ; once both teams have had such an opportunity , the overtime proceeds in a manner similar to the NFL 's . Thus , if Team A has the first possession of overtime and scores a touchdown and converts their kick ( thus being 7 points ahead of Team B ) , Team A would then kick off to Team B ( In the NFL , the game would have ended with the touchdown , without a conversion being attempted ) . Team B would have to match or exceed the 7 point difference within this ensuing possession ; exceeding it would end the game immediately , while matching the difference would result in a kickoff to Team A. From this point , the overtime is sudden death . The defunct United Football League had also used this rule .

The NFL would return to Houston in 2002 with a new franchise , the Houston Texans .

Mercy rule
In some states ( where 8 - man and 6 - man football is widely used ) , the rules call for a game to end when one team is ahead by a certain score ( like 45 or 50 points ) at halftime or any time thereafter . In other states with 6 - or 8 - man football , continuous clock rules are used , and the rule may be modified ; for instance , in Iowa , the rule goes into effect if the 35 - point differential is reached at any time after the first quarter .

American football
What is considered to be the first American football game was played on November 6 , 1869 between Rutgers and Princeton , two college teams . The game was played between two teams of 25 players each and used a round ball that could not be picked up or carried . It could , however , be kicked or batted with the feet , hands , head or sides , with the ultimate goal being to advance it into the opponent 's goal . Rutgers won the game 6 goals to 4 . Collegiate play continued for several years in which matches were played using the rules of the host school . Representatives of Yale , Columbia , Princeton and Rutgers met on October 19 , 1873 to create a standard set of rules for all schools to adhere to . Teams were set at 20 players each , and fields of 400 by 250 feet ( 122 m × 76 m ) were specified . Harvard abstained from the conference , as they favored a rugby - style game that allowed running with the ball .
Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series
In 2016 , NASCAR announced the creation of a charter system , which would guarantee 36 teams entry to all 36 races . Eligibility for a charter would depend on a team 's attempts to qualify for every race within the previous three seasons . In conjunction with this rule , NASCAR also reduced the size of the Cup field to 40 cars . The
Oakland Raiders relocation to Las Vegas
Meanwhile , Las Vegas had been home to a number of other professional football franchises between 1994 and the Raiders ' arrival , none of which were particularly successful . The Las Vegas Posse , part of the Canadian Football League 's effort to enter the U.S. market , lasted one season in 1994 and suffered from poor on - field product and worse attendance figures . The XFL included the Las Vegas Outlaws in its lone 2001 season ; its attendance and on - field performance were respectable , and the team embraced the city 's culture , but the Outlaws ' modest success was overshadowed by the failure of the XFL . The Las Vegas Locomotives of the United Football League were a major on - field success and were one of the UFL 's best teams ; it nonetheless suffered from poor attendance to start that continued to decline throughout the league 's existence to the point that its last home game drew only 600 fans . The Arena Football League included three teams in Las Vegas over the course of its history : the Las Vegas Sting ( 1994 and 1995 ) , Las Vegas Gladiators ( 2003 to 2007 , now the Cleveland Gladiators ) , and another Las Vegas Outlaws ( 2015 ) . The Las Vegas Sin of the Lingerie Football League ( now the Legends Football League ) played in the city from 2011 to 2014 .

2008 New England Patriots season
The 2008 New England Patriots season was the 37th season for the team in the National Football League and 49th season overall . Despite finishing the regular season with an 11 -- 5 record , the Patriots did not qualify for the playoffs -- becoming the first 11 - win team since the expansion to a 12 - team playoff in 1990 to not make the playoffs , as well as only the second team ( after the 1985 Denver Broncos ) since the NFL expanded to a 16 - game regular season in 1978 . This came just one year after finishing with the only 16 -- 0 regular - season record in NFL history .
Samoa
American football is occasionally played in Samoa , reflecting its wide popularity in American Samoa , where the sport is played under high school sanction . About 30 ethnic Samoans , many from American Samoa , currently play in the National Football League . A 2002 article from ESPN estimated that a Samoan male ( either an American Samoan or a Samoan living in the mainland United States ) is 40 times more likely to play in the NFL than a non-Samoan American .
NFL playoffs
From the league 's founding in 1920 until 1932 , there was no scheduled championship game . From 1920 -- 1923 , the championship was awarded to a team by a vote of team owners at the annual owners ' meeting . From 1924 -- 1932 , the team having the best winning percentage was awarded the championship ( the de facto standard owners had been using anyway ) . As each team played a different number of games , simply counting wins and losses would have been insufficient . Additionally , tie games were not counted in the standings in figuring winning percentage ( under modern rules , ties count as 1⁄2 win and 1⁄2 loss ) . There was a head - to - head tiebreaker , which also was weighted toward the end of the season : for two teams that played each other twice , each winning once , the team winning the second game was determined to be the champion ( the criteria used to decide the 1921 title ) .
New Jersey
Rutgers , which fields 24 teams in various sports , is nationally known for its excellent football and women 's basketball programs . The university is planning an expansion to Rutgers Stadium , and the teams play in Piscataway , which is adjacent to the New Brunswick campus . The university also fields rising basketball and baseball programs . Rutgers ' fan base is mostly derived from the western parts of the state and Middlesex County , and its alumni base is the largest in the state .
