History

Historical Context

The NFL and AFL merged in 1970, following years of competition and negotiations that began in 1966 due to rising player salaries and the threat of losing stars. This merger established the Super Bowl as the NFL's championship game, with the Kansas City Chiefs winning Super Bowl IV against the Minnesota Vikings.
