History

Historical Context

The NFL and AFL merged in 1970, creating a unified league with 26 teams and establishing a playoff system. This merger followed years of competition, culminating in the first Super Bowl in 1967. The new structure fostered increased competition and fan engagement, significantly contributing to the NFL's evolution into a multi-billion dollar industry, as evidenced by the Rams' impressive 9-2 record this season.
