Povijest

[uredi | uredi kôd]

American Football Conference je nastala 1970. nakon što su se ujedinile National Football League (NFL) i American Football League (AFL) u novu National Football League (NFL). U sastav American Football Conference je ušlo svih 10 klubova iz AFL-a (Boston Patriots, Buffalo Bills, Houston Oilers, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, Cincinnati Bengals, Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos, San Diego Chargers, Oakland Raiders) te tri momčadi iz NFL-a (Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers i Baltimore Colts) te su momčadi podijeljene u tri divizije (AFC East, AFC Central i AFC North). Trinaest originalnih momčadi iz 1970. je i danas prisutno u konferenciji, iako su neke promijenile grad ili naziv (Boston Patriots su danas New England Patriots, Houston Oilers su danas Tennessee Titans, Baltimore Colts današnji Indianapolis Colts, Oakland Raiders su jedno vrijeme bili Los Angeles Raiders, dok Cleveland Browns nisu djelovali u periodu 1996. – 1998.).

Članovima AFC-a su još postali:

  • 1976. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (ali su odmah 1977. prešli u NFC
  • 1977. Seattle Seahaks (prešli u NFC 2002.)
  • 1995. Jacksonville Jaguars
  • 1996. Baltimore Ravens
  • 2002. Houston Texans

Od 2002. AFC umjesto tri broji 4 divizije (AFC East, AFC West, AFC North i AFC South).

Struktura sezone

[uredi | uredi kôd]
Podrobniji članak o temi: National Football League § Struktura sezone

Regularna sezona

[uredi | uredi kôd]

U regularnoj sezoni svaki tim igra 16 utakmica kroz period od 17 tjedana (od rujna do prosinca). Tradiocionalno se utakmice igraju svako nedjeljno popodne (u 19 sati po našem vremenu), s iznimkom da se jedna utakmica igra u nedjelju navećer, a druga u ponedjeljak navećer (monday night football). Zadnja tri tjedna u regularnoj sezoni utakmice se igraju i subotom.

Formula po kojoj se takmiće klubovi u NFL-u tokom regularne sezone:

  • Svaki tim igra protiv svakog tima u njegovoj diviziji po dva puta: jednom kod kuće i jednom u gostima (6 utakmica).
  • Svaki tim igra po jednu utakmicu protiv 4 tima iz drugih divizija u njegovoj konferenciji po trogodišnjem rotirajučem principu: dvije utakmice kod kuće, i dvije vani (4 utakmice).
  • Svaki tim igra po jednu utakmicu protiv 4 tima iz drugih divizija u drugoj konferenciji po četverogodišnjem rotirajučem principu: dvije utakmice kod kuće, i dvije vani (4 utakmice).
  • Svaki tim igra dvije utakmice protiv dva tima u njegovoj konferenciji ovisno o dosadašnjim rezultatima sezone: Jednu utakmicu kod kuće i jednu vani.

Ova formula se pokazala vrlo korisnom jer se njome očuvaju stara rivalstva dok se u isto vrijeme stvaraju i nova.

Doigravanje (playoff)

[uredi | uredi kôd]

Doigravanje traje obično kroz siječanj i početak veljače (doigravanje se uglavnom ne igra u istoj kalendarsjkoj godini s regularnom sezonom) a u doigravanje ulazi šest momačadi - 4 pobjednika divizija (koji su ovisno o uspješnosti u regularnoj sezoni rangirani kao 1., 2., 3. i 4.-topostavljeni) te dvije momčadi koje imaju najbolji omjer pobjeda i poraza u ligi uz ova četiri prvaka divizija (ove dvije momčadi su rangirane kao 5. i 6.-topostavljena u ovisnosti o regularnoj sezoni). U doigravanju se igra na jednu utakmicu, a domaćin je bolje plasirani tim u regularnoj sezoni.

Konferencijsko doigravanje se igra kroz tri tjedna ovim redoslijedom:

  • Wild Card Playoffs (Wild Card Weekend) - 1st i 2nd seed su slobodni, a utakmicu međusobno za prolaz igraju 3rd i 6th te 4th i 5th seed.
  • Divisional Playoff - pobjednici Wild Card Playoffs) igraju protiv 1st i 2nd seeda, a parovi se određuju tako da 1st seed igra protiv najslabijeg seeda koji je prošao Divisional Playoff
  • Conference Championship - igraji ga pobjednici Divisional Playoff te pobjednik postaje prvakom American Football Conference te ide u Super Bowl protiv prvaka NFC-a za najbolju momčad NFL lige.
