History

Historical Context

The NFL’s 1976 season marked a major expansion, adding the Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers to reach 28 teams. That growth set the stage for later overseas experiments, culminating in the Ravens’ 34-31 win over the Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro, a clear continuation of the league’s push to build a global fan base.
