Yeah, that's what I'm seeing now..

How did the extra team in the AFC work out though??

When Modell moved the Browns to Baltimore, there was a big legal battle because the people of Cleveland had voted for construction of a new stadium but Modell decided to move the team anyway. The NFL decided to give Cleveland 3 years to build the stadium and then they'd get a new team which ended up being the Browns part II. So then the NFL had 31 teams and Tagliabue wanted an even number of teams so that's how Houston got their franchise.

It's tough to explain thoroughly.

Basically though, when there were 31 teams in the league, either one or three teams had a bye every week of the season. Unlike now where byes begin in week 3 and stop in week 10. This was done because obviously, only 30 teams could play every week.

As far as the scheduled games for each team, it was a mess. Now, every team plays each team in their division twice, every team from one division in the other conference, every team from one division in their own conference, and one team from the other two divisions in their own conference. Pretty simple.

Back then, since one division had 6 teams and all others had 5, it was the same basic setup but as far as who played who in the AFC Central it was a mess. Everyone still played each other twice in that division but as far as games outside the division, I could probably explain it but it would take a long time.
