For example, a West Coast team may play on the East Coast the week before a London game and then practice there for the week leading up to the game. Teams usually will have their bye week after an international game. The league reserves the right to move the start times of Sunday games as long as it provides the affected teams and ticket-holding fans with reasonable notice.
Flex scheduling does not apply to Thursday, Monday or Saturday games. The NFL can also move Sunday afternoon games between the 1 p. ET and the p. ET time slots. An equal number of games must be cross-flexed: if CBS airs three games originally slated for Fox, then Fox would have to get three games that would have originally aired on CBS. Each team has one bye week between Weeks 6 and Determining where that bye week falls for each team presents additional challenges for the schedule makers.
For example, the league tries to limit the number of times a team that played the week before has to face a team coming off its bye. A team with an early bye week one year will receive consideration for a later bye week the next season.
Even after all the factors have been weighed and the schedule is produced, the league occasionally has to make adjustments on short notice. While not ideal, the teams both had a Week 11 bye, so the game was played that week and they had an unexpected Week 1 bye. With games on Thursdays, Sundays and Mondays, the schedule makers have to allow enough time between games so teams are not at a disadvantage against an opponent that has had more time to prepare and rest.
Teams scheduled to play on Thursday nights will not have to play a short week more than once a season. The league tries to limit the number of consecutive road games any team plays to two games, with emphasis at the beginning and end of the season. Sometimes, however, the schedule makers cannot avoid placing a team on the road for three straight weeks. The league tries to avoid scheduling teams that play on the road on Monday nights with an away game the following week to avoid having two road games separated by a short week.

The two leagues were direct competitors for a decade until the merger, which created a unified National Football League split into the two conferences. After the merger, the AFC was the dominant conference in terms of Super Bowl wins throughout the s, and the NFC won a long stretch of consecutive Super Bowls through the s and mid s 13 wins in a row.
For the last decade, the two conferences have been more evenly matched. There have been occasional shifts and rebalancing of the divisions and conferences over the years to accommodate new teams. Each division has 4 teams, meaning each conference has 16 teams, and the entire league has 32 teams. During the playoffs, the top six teams from both the AFC and NFC the 4 division leaders and two wild card teams from each conference play each other, and the last undefeated team in each conference plays in the Super Bowl.
Dallas Cowboys has won the most titles 8 titles in the NFC. However, the current champion in is San Francisco 49ers. Just like NFC, every year all teams play with each other; one in the home ground and another away.
