I-National Football League, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-NFL, yi-American Football League. I-American Football League inkulu kakhulu. I-American Football Conference (AFC, American League) kanye ne-National Football Conference yizingqungquthela ezimbili eziyinhloko ezakhiwe amaqembu angu-32 aleli ligi (i-National Football Conference, ebizwa ngokuthi i-NFC, National League). Amaqembu angu-16 avela kunhlangano ngayinye ahlukaniswe ngezigaba zaseMpumalanga, eNingizimu, eNtshonalanga, naseNyakatho. Isigaba ngasinye sinamaqembu angu-4.

Ngamafuphi, siwabiza ngokuthi amajezi e-offset. "Inguqulo yekhophi yejezi" isho ukuthi ukubukeka kulingisa inguqulo yomdlali, kodwa indwangu, usayizi, nohlobo lwezingubo kuhluke kakhulu kunenguqulo yomdlali, ngokusho kokuhumusha okuqondile kwesiNgisi. Inombolo, ilogo yeqembu esikhwameni segama lomdlali (uma ikhona), indilinga esikhwameni (uma ikhona), kanye nelogo yeReebok konke kuphrintiwe nge-offset endwangu encane kakhulu yejezi ye-offset. Ngokuphambene nenguqulo yomdlali, efanele izimpahla zokuzivikela, inguqulo yokunyathelisa ye-offset yejezi ifanele ukugqokwa nsuku zonke.

Inguqulo yabalandeli bejezi ihlukaniswe yaba eyesidala (ijezi yabantu abadala), eyesisha (ijezi yentsha), kanye neyesifazane ukuze ivumelane kangcono nezinhlobo ezahlukene zabantu (ijezi yabesifazane). Inguqulo ethandwa kakhulu futhi ezenzakalelayo yileyo yabantu abadala. Ijezi yentsha iza ngosayizi bezingane eziphakathi kweminyaka engu-8 nengu-10, kanti inombolo kanye nelebula lelogo ye-NFL zincane kakhulu. Inguqulo yengane ayiyinkimbinkimbi futhi ilula kakhulu kunenguqulo yabantu abadala. Inguqulo yabesifazane yejezi inomphetho okhalweni ukuze ilingane kangcono nomzimba wowesifazane. Ayichazwanga ngokujulile.
