The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league that consists of 32 teams, divided equally between the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). The NFL is one of the major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada and the highest professional level of American football in the world. Each NFL season begins with a three-week preseason in August, followed by the 18-week regular season which runs from early September to early January, with each team playing 17 games and having one bye week. Following the conclusion of the regular season, seven teams from each conference (four division winners and three wild card teams) advance to the playoffs, a single-elimination tournament that culminates in the Super Bowl, which is contested in February and is played between the AFC and NFC conference champions.

The NFL was formed in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association (APFA) before renaming itself the National Football League for the 1922 season. After initially determining champions through end-of-season standings, a playoff system was implemented in 1933 that culminated with the NFL Championship Game until 1966. Following an agreement to merge the NFL with the rival American Football League (AFL), the Super Bowl was first held in 1967 to determine a champion between the best teams from the two leagues and has remained as the final game of each NFL season since the merger was completed in 1970. The NFL is the wealthiest professional sports league in the world by revenue and the sports league with the most valuable teams.The NFL also has the highest average attendance (67,591) of any professional sports league in the world[9] and is the most popular sports league in the United States.The Super Bowl is also among the biggest club sporting events in the world, with the individual games accounting for many of the most watched television programs in American history and all occupying the Nielsen's top 5 tally of the all-time most watched U.S. television broadcasts by 2015.
The Green Bay Packers hold the most combined NFL championships with thirteen, winning nine titles before the Super Bowl era and four Super Bowls afterwards. Since the creation of the Super Bowl, the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers are tied for the most Super Bowl victories at six each. The reigning league champions are the Kansas City Chiefs, who defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII.
NFL live streams head into Week after an insane Week . Going into Week we had nine undefeated teams and nine teams without a win. Now, we're just down to three of each. One of those remaining undefeated teams, the Miami Dolphins, also put up a historic 70 points against the Denver Broncos.
Luckily for the Broncos, they should get a good opportunity to bounce back — and finally record their first win — against the Chicago Bears this week. Despite getting beat down in historic fashion, the Broncos are arguably better than the hapless Bears. Of course, it'd be apt if this simply ended in a tie given the fortunes of both teams this season.
Adding insult to injury for the Bears, their division rivals the Detroit Lions already got a big win this week against fellow NFC North foe the Green Bay Packers. Outside of an overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks, the Lions have looked good so far this season and sit in the driver's seat for the division title through four weeks.
One other thing to keep an eye on is this week is the first week with an NFL International Series game. The NFL is going to Wembley Stadium as the Atlanta Falcons take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on October 1 at 9:30 a.m. ET. Confusingly, this game is showing on ESPN Plus despite the subsequent International games being shown on NFL Network.
Oh, I almost forgot — Taylor Swift should be in attendance for the Sunday Night Football game between the Kansas City Chiefs vs New York Jets. So football fans and Swifties should definitely tune in via NBC or Peacock for that one.
