NFL
In the US, it's the National Football League - to the rest of the world we're talking American Football or Gridiron. And the NFL is broken down into the NFC (National Football Conference) and the AFC (American Football Conference) - just to make you think even harder! The showpiece is the Superbowl, held following the post-season playoffs each year. This year Superbowl XLII features the New England Patriots (who beat the San Diego Chargers) against the New York Giants (who beat the Green Bay Packers).

In the US, it's the National Football League - to the rest of the world we're talking American Football or Gridiron. And the NFL is broken down into the NFC (National Football Conference) and the AFC (American Football Conference) - just to make you think even harder! The showpiece is the Superbowl, held following the post-season playoffs each year. This year Superbowl XLII features the New England Patriots (who beat the San Diego Chargers) against the New York Giants (who beat the Green Bay Packers).
