y - Clinched Division Title
x - Playoff Berth
** Special Note ** ~ The NFL expanded to 15 teams with the addition of the expansion Atlanta
Falcons, thus an odd number of teams existed (making byes necessary). This was the last season
that the NFL had just two divisions, which in this setup the conference champions went directly
to the NFL Championship Game. And as was agreed prior to the season, the two rival football
leagues, the NFL and the AFL had their champions meet after the season to play in a game which
was eventually called Super Bowl I, though at the time, it was called the AFL-NFL World
Championship Game at that period in time.
