The Super Bowl is the annual professional championship played by the champions of the American Football Conference and the National Football Conference of the National Football League. It is annually the highest rated broadcast program of the year on television and it represents the popularity of the game.

Football features two teams of 11 players. The object of the game is to carry the football into your opponent's end zone. This can be done by running or passing the ball. In addition to the ball carrier's talent, blockers help the player get into the end zone by getting in the way of tacklers and knocking them out of the way. The defense attempts to stop the offense by tackling the ball carrier and taking the ball away.
