NFC

NFC is the acronym for National Football Conference.

National Football Conference

One of the two conferences that make up the National Football League (NFL) in the United States. The other conference is the American Football Conference (AFC). Each conference is composed of 16 teams, divided into four divisions: East, North, South, and West.

NFC North	NFC South	NFC East	NFC West
Chicago Bears	Atlanta Falcons	Dallas Cowboys	Arizona Cardinals
Detroit Lions	Carolina Panthers	New York Giants	Los Angeles Rams
Green Bay Packers	New Orleans Saints	Philadelphia Eagles	San Francisco 49ers
Minnesota Vikings	Tampa Bay Buccaneers	Washington Commanders	Seattle Seahawks

The NFC and AFC were created during the NFL-AFL merger in 1970. The merger combined teams from the older NFL with teams from the younger AFL (American Football League) and split them into two conferences. Each season, teams in the NFC compete in a regular season of 17 games, followed by playoffs if they qualify. The playoffs culminate in the NFC Championship Game, where the two remaining NFC teams compete to win the NFC title and advance to the Super Bowl, facing the champion of the AFC.

Like the AFC, the NFC includes some of the most popular and storied franchises in NFL history, and its teams have a passionate fan base. The conference has a rich history and has contributed many memorable moments to American football.
