	About The NFL - NFL Salaries - NFL Salary Cap - NFL History - NFL Teams - NFL Commissioners
		The NFL's greatest spurt in popularity came in the 1960s and 1970s, after the 1958 NFL championship game which went into overtime, and with the merger of the rival American Football League (1960-1969) which introduced major on- and off-the-field innovations that were eventually adopted by the NFL.
		The NFL season begins with most teams playing four "pre-season" exhibition games from early August through early September; the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game and American Bowl don't count towards the normal allottment of four games and therefore the four teams playing in those games play five exhibition games.
		In the 1990 season, there was no bye, as the league was still adjusting the schedule from adding the bye week during the season.

		In its early years after 1920, the NFL did not have a set schedule, and teams played as few as eight and as many as sixteen games, some against college or other amateur squads.
		For the 2004 season, the NFL's salary cap was $80.582 million, an increase of $5.5 million from 2003.
		Critics of the salary cap note that the driving reason for the cap was to maximize the profitability of the NFL teams, and limit the power of NFL players to command the high salaries they are said to deserve in exchange for bringing in large numbers of paying fans to the stadiums.
