The following table gives the National Football League (NFL) standings as on April 30. In the format of NFL, each of the 12

a
participating teams plays twice with every other team. The League matches were to conclude by May 31. The rank of the team in

l
the league is decided by the points scored by the team — the higher the points, the better the rank. If two teams are tied at the
same points, then the team with the higher goal difference (goals scored – goals conceded) gets the better rank. If they are still

C
tied, the team with the higher number of goals scored gets a better rank. Three points are awarded to the winning team and one
point is awarded to both the teams in a drawn match. No point is awarded to the loosing team.
