How did the Super Bowl get its name?
In 1970, the AFL and NFL officially merged, both under the National Football League name. The NFL adopted several AFL rules and policies that before the merger were exclusive to the AFL, like placing players’ names on jerseys, an official scoreboard clock and the two-point conversion. As you might have guessed, these two different leagues came to be known as the NFC and AFC and they still meet in the Super Bowl every year. In addition, the conferences meet at the Pro Bowl every year to showcase their most talented players.
