On August 20, 1920, representatives from four independent professional football teams in Ohio—the Canton Bulldogs, the Cleveland Tigers, the Dayton Triangles and the Akron Pros— had a meeting and established guidelines for a league they called the American Professional Football Conference.
Fox Chris Raybon: The Seahawks are another team that the market has been slow to adjust to. Since averaging a combined score of 65.7 in September en route to a 3-0 over record, the Seahawks are 9-3 toward the under, with their games falling short of the total by 3.5 points on average.

There are three common NFL betting lines: the side, total and moneyline. Side: The side refers to the point spread. While the odds can fluctuate, most sides are -110, meaning you have to bet $110. NFL hires first Black female game official, Maia Chaka The NFL has hired Maia Chaka as the first Black female official in league history. She will work games during the 2021 season.
After the meeting, other professional teams were contacted and invited to a meeting in Canton, Ohio on Sept. 17. Nine other teams ended up joining the fledgling league. The name would be changed to National Football League in 1921.
Many football innovations can be traced to the 1932 season. At the time, standings were determined by winning percentage (with ties not factored in) and so the Portsmouth Spartans (6–1–4) and the Chicago Bears (6–1–6) ended up in a tie. It was decided that the two teams should participate in a playoff game to determine the champion. Extremely cold weather necessitated that the game be played indoors, at Chicago Stadium, rather than at Wrigley Field. This would be the first game that was played indoors, on Dec. 18.
The 1932 season was also the first time official statistics were kept. Because the field in Chicago Stadium was only 80-yards long and the walls were close to the sidelines, teams were allowed to move the ball toward the center of the field if a ball carrier went out of bounds or was tackled within 10 yards of the sideline. This was the first use of 'hash marks' in pro football. The Bears won the game 9–0, after Bronco Nagurski threw a two-yard pass to Red Grange. The Spartans protested that the pass violated the existing rule, which stated that a pass had to be thrown from more than five yards behind the line of scrimmage, but the touchdown was not overturned.
Before the next season, hash marks were officially adopted, the forward pass was legalized if thrown from anywhere behind the line of scrimmage and the teams were officially divided into two divisions, with the winners scheduled to meet in a championship game.
Now there are 32 teams in the NFL. The teams are divided into either the AFC or NFC, and each of those conferences is broken up into four divisions. Each team plays a 16-game schedule and has one bye week when they don't have to play. Games can be scheduled on Thursdays, Sundays or Mondays.
A total of 10 teams make the playoffs: the winner of each of the eight divisions, plus two Wild Card teams. The Wild Card weekend winners advance to the divisional playoffs. After that come the AFC Championship game and the NFC Championship game, and finally the Super Bowl.
The Lombardi Trophy, which is presented to the Super Bowl's winning team, is named for Vince Lombardi, the Hall of Famer who coached the Green Bay Packers from 1959 to 1967. Lombardi led the Packers to victory in the first two Super Bowls, in 1967 and 1968. After his sudden death from cancer in 1970, the trophy was named for him.
Last year, it was the dots. This year, FOX's player illustrations are the breakout feature of the NFL season.
If you've watched an NFL game recently, you've definitely noticed these comically buff depictions of NFL players. The quarterbacks, who are especially jacked for some reason, have been the best ones by far.
These cartoons need to be celebrated, so I spent the day collecting screenshots of every starting quarterback and I've ranked them based on … well, when I started, the rankings were based on accuracy but it ended up being how entertaining I found them.
Note: I was unable to find illustrations for Drew Lock and Cam Newton. Neither has played a game on FOX this season.
1 Kyler Murray
That's a damn good Kyler right there. It's accurate and the artist did a good job of capturing his general tininess.
2 Joe Flacco
This artist gets extra points for saying 'Screw it, I'm not drawing Joe Flacco's head.' I wouldn't want to do that either. Flacco is the only quarterback on this list with a helmet on.
3 Teddy Bridgewater
As long as you ignore his enormous left eye, this is a spot-on depiction of Teddy. He looks so dignified.
4 Russell Wilson
The more I look at this one, the less it looks like Russell Wilson to me. They did manage to capture the deadness behind his eyes.
5 Drew Brees
Brees looks so … weathered. Did they really have to give him those forehead wrinkles? He looks like a 50-year-old Jesse Pinkman.
6 Justin Herbert
Look at that hair. It's glorious. And now it's all gone. Will FOX give us an updated illustration? A part of me doesn't want that to happen.
7 Jake Luton
I can't imagine the thoughts going through the artist's head while doing an illustration of freaking Jake Luton. That had to be a rough night. I also can't tell you if that is an accurate depiction, as I have no idea what Luton looks like and I refuse to google it.
8 Derek Carr
He looks so menacing. Like he's about to reveal his plot to take over the world, one fourth-down throwaway at a time.
9 Carson Wentz
Based on his playing style, this is probably what Carson Wentz thinks he actually looks like. Those are some wide shoulders and is it just me or does he look kind of vampirish?
10 Baker Mayfield
He has the distracted boyfriend meme look on his face. You could make one of those memes and have Baker's girlfriend as a Browns receiver and the other woman as a defender. I'm just spitballing here.
11 Andy Dalton
Fox Nfl Odds
HAHAHAHAHAHA.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
This one isn't actually good, but I just enjoy it so much. Cbc stanley cup montage.
Why did they do that to poor Andy Dalton? They got him looking like a Dr. Suess character. The hair is pretty good though.
12 Joe Burrow
If Joe Burrow's arm was really that strong, he might be the best quarterback ever.
13 Aaron Rodgers
They made Aaron Rodgers look like a guy who's listened to every Joe Rogan podcast, so … good job, FOX.
14 Matt Ryan
Matt Ryan looks like a guy who gets paid to do murders.
15 Daniel Jones
He looks like a sad Superman; but instead of Kryptonite, his weakness is sack fumbles.
16 Matthew Stafford
You can't tell me that's not Haley Joel-Osment.
17 Nick Mullens
I'm getting a Captain Morgan vibe from this one.
18 Josh Allen
This looks like an aged Josh Allen. Like that's what he'll look like when he's 32 … and backing up whoever the Bills draft in two years. Joking.
19 Jared Goff
I like how Goff's one eye is looking off to the sideline so he can see Sean McVay telling him where to throw the ball.
20 Philip Rivers
I like how Goff's one eye is looking off to the sideline so he can see Sean McVay telling him where to throw the ball.
20 Philip Rivers
This Philip Rivers is jacked for some reason and looks like he hasn't slept in a week. It's hard to get your eight hours with all those kids running around.
Fox Nfl Odds Week 13
21 Tom Brady
This looks like a 12-year-old boy who is standing behind one of those cardboard cutouts without the head that people stand behind for pictures.
22 Lamar Jackson
I mean, it looks like Lamar but why is he so sad?
23 Ben Roethlisberger
Did a Ben Roethlisberger draw this?
Fox Nfl Odds Picks
24 Nick Foles
That looks like the kind of Nick Foles who could lead you to a Super Bowl. Unfortunately, that's not that Nick Foles the Bears are getting this season.
Fox Nfl Odds Week 8
25 Patrick Mahomes
I don't know who that is, but it's not Patrick Mahomes.
26 Kirk Cousins
That's Mitt Romney. Extremely buff Mitt Romney.
27 Alex Smith
What's going on with Alex Smith's head here? It's like … bulbous, right?
28 Deshaun Watson
Um … Deshaun Watson is looking a little pale here. Is this supposed to be his ghost? It looks like he got a visit from Carson Wentz's cartoon.
29 Ryan Tannehill
This is play-action Ryan Tannehill. Straight dropback Ryan Tannehill looks more like the Alex Smith illustration.
30 Tua Tagovailoa
Not only does this look nothing like Tua Tgovailoa but there aren't any discernable features I can make a joke about. Boring.
