Through NFL history, a team's success is often dictated by how good their quarterback is. The 1980's were ruled by Joe Montana and the 49ers; the 1990's had Troy Aikman and the Dallas Cowboys as well as Steve Young and the Niners; and now the last decade has been dominated by Tom Brady of the New England Patriots. Whether or not you are a fan, getting football tickets to see these NFL greats is a must.

NFL History

The NFL was formed in 1920 to create an organized professional association for football. The league was originally named the American Professional Football Association but was later changed to the National Football League a few years later. Jim Thorpe was the first NFL president and the league consisted of 14 teams. Only the Arizona Cardinals and Chicago Bears are still active today.

In the 1960's the NFL faced strong competition from the American Football League (AFL). The new league was threatening the rapid growth of the NFL. The AFL was taking away lucrative television contracts, along with stealing top draft picks and free agents. Due to the success of both leagues, the two sides announced they would merge in 1966. The merger wouldn't take effect until 1970 and to fill the gap, the leagues decided to have a championship game between the NFL and AFL. This gave birth to the Super Bowl. After the merger, the league formed two conferences called the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC).

Today, the NFL has the highest attendance of any of the major sports league. The NFL brings in an average of over 67,000 football fans to every game driving ticket sales through the roof! The NFL is made up of 32 teams split evenly between the American Football Conference and the National Football Conference. Each NFL team plays 16 games over a 17 week season, with one week designated as a bye-week. The regular season is followed by a 6-team single elimination playoff culminating at the Super Bowl played between the AFC and NFC champions. The Super Bowl sees the winner of the AFC Championship Game take on the winner of the NFC Championship Game. The Super Bowl is one of biggest sporting events in the world bringing average audience of around 1 billion worldwide.

After each season, AP sportswriters vote for the NFL Most Valuable Player Award. This is considered the most prestigious award given out to a single player. Only the game's best players have earned the title of MVP. Former winners include NFL greats like Jim Brown, Johnny Unitas, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Joe Montana and Adrian Peterson. The most recent recipient of the award is QB Tom Brady of the New England Patriots.

The New York Giants have won four Super Bowl titles. 13 teams have yet to win the elusive Super Bowl including the San Diego Chargers and Cincinnati Bengals. The Buffalo Bills went to four straight Super Bowls but were shut down each time.

The Big Game brings in big acts! The famous Super Bowl Halftime Show has featured superstars like Madonna, The Who, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, and The Rolling Stones. The Super Bowl Halftime Show continues to grow in popularity each year. Katy Perry averaged more than 118 million viewers in 2014, the largest audience in the history of the Super Bowl.
