On January 26, 1911, the first official NFL game, the 'Twelve Giants,' was played in the United States, officially marking the early history of professional football.

The game featured teams like the Decatur Staleys and the Chicago Bears, with George Halas playing a significant role in the early league development as a player, coach, and team owner.

Though it faced many challenges in its early years and nearly folded, the NFL has since grown to become one of the most profitable sports leagues in the world, with a massive following.
