Report

The National Football League played its first Championship Game in 1933, the first year the League was divided in to Eastern and Western Divisions. In 1960 the American Football League, one of many to use that name, became so successful, it forced a merger with the NFl, with the two League playing the first Super Bowl between their respective Champions in January 1967 (1966 season). These Leagues merged in 1970 to form the AFC and NFC (Conferences within the NFL) which continue to play the Super Bowl between them.

The most successful teams during the NFL Championship Era (1933 to 1966) were the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears with six wins each, followed by the Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns with four and Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants with three.
