It’s almost that time of year again. NFL Season 2021 is just around the corner, and I couldn’t be more excited! For everyone who can’t get enough football, this year is going to be a treat. Like all great NFL seasons, this one is packed with games, full of surprises and sure to be a great season. But how many games are we talking about?
Well firstly, the NFL regular season generally has 16 games that each team has to play. That’s 240 games in total! Of course, some teams may play more or less games due to scheduling changes, but the average is 16 games.This is followed by a bye week after each team’s 16th game, so teams have an entire week off to rest and prepare for the playoffs.
The playoffs are where things get really interesting. Each division sends two teams from their conference to the playoffs. This means there are 8 teams in the playoffs from each conference, totaling 16 playoff teams heading into the playoffs. That adds up to 32 teams participating in the playoffs, meaning the playoff schedule includes 11 games – 4 wild card games, 4 divisional games, 2 conference championships, and 1 Super bowl.
This brings the total for the 2021 NFL season to 272 regular season and playoff games – a grand total of huge football action from September to February. It’s a huge amount of football, but that’s not all. Aside from the regular season and playoffs, there are also various other events to enjoy. There are two all-star games – the Pro Bowl and the Senior Bowl – as well as fan events like the NFL Draft and the Hall of Fame Game.
It’s an absolute delight for football fans, with something new happening almost every week. I’m sure this year is going to be an absolute blast. Even though there is no surefire way to predict how the NFL season will unfold, one thing is for sure – it’s going to be an exhilarating rollercoaster of a ride.
One thing that’s really exciting about the 2021 NFL season is that there is a whole new crop of rookies entering the league. Some of these rookies could end up being the superstars of the future, and watching them play could be the highlight of the season. I’m sure the rookie class of 2021 will be one to remember.
When it comes to off-the-field activities, it looks like NFL teams have something special planned for their fans this year. Many teams have announced special events and promotions like discounts on merchandise and special experiences like VIP stadium visits. This kind of extra is sure to make the 2021 NFL season even more enjoyable.
Finally, the 2021 NFL season is sure to be filled with more than just games. There will be plenty of media coverage and coverage from the players and teams, giving us an even better understanding of the game. It’s a great opportunity for everyone who loves the sport to get even closer to the action.
