History

Historical Context

The 1970 merger of the NFL and AFL created a 26-team league, realigning into the American Football Conference (AFC) and National Football Conference (NFC). This expansion increased competition but also led to a rise in player injuries, accounting for nearly 20% of absences. The ongoing challenges of managing player health, as seen with the Baltimore Ravens, remain crucial for success in today's NFL.
