Should have explained this a Little Better earlier

Prior to 1969 the Super Bowl was called the AFL–NFL World Championship Game

Both Leagues Merged in 1966

In the USA NFL stands for National football League

In USA AFL stands for American football League



AFC American Football conference was formed from 10 NFL & 3 AFL teams

NFC National Football conference was formed from 10 former NFL teams

Today

AFC is 16 teams divided Into 4 Divisions East, North, South, West

NFC is 16 Teams divided Into 4 Divisions East, North, South, West



NFC National Football conference Championship game receives George Halas Trophy


AFC American Football conference Championship game receives Lamar Hunt Trophy

But the winners of the Two conferences

The AFC and NFC Play against each other IE Super Bowl today


Professional American Football Leagues today in the entire World

NFL consists of AFC & NFC conferences

CFL Canadian Football League slightly different as the Play on 110 yard field instead of 100 Yard field


Other Than USA & Canada Their are no other countries on planet Earth that have Professional level American Football Teams

Since the NFL & CFL Play on different size fields they do not compete against each other

NFL today which Includes the old AFL American Football League has No one else at their level of Play to compete against on planet Earth so they became World Champions

In My Mind I still consider the Super Bowl as the NFL against the AFL which it is actually the NFC (originally NFL) against the AFC (Originally the AFL) But today there all under the NFL

I remember when the Bears still payed at Wrigley field
