Hey everyone, I’m back again! Today, I wanna talk about something I bumped into while checking out the NFL standings – the abbreviation “PF”. So, I was just casually scrolling through the standings, you know, seeing how my favorite team was doing and all that. Then I saw this “PF” thingy next to each team’s record, and I was like, “What the heck does that mean?”
I’m not exactly a football stats expert, so I decided to do a little digging. I opened up my browser, typed in “what is PF in NFL standings” into the search bar, and hit enter. A bunch of results popped up, and I started clicking through them.

Turns out, it’s not as complicated as I thought. It’s pretty straightforward, actually.
- PF stands for “Points For”.
- PA stands for “Points Against”.
Basically, PF is just the total number of points a team has scored throughout the season. And PA, on the other hand, is the total number of points that a team has allowed their opponents to score against them.
So, there you have it. It’s not some secret code or anything. It’s just a simple way to see how many points a team has scored and how many they’ve given up. I also learned that some leagues use PF and PA as tiebreakers for playoff spots, which is pretty cool. And PF and PA can tell you how well you did in the season compared with others in the same league.
I thought it would be a good idea to share this with you guys, in case any of you were also wondering about it. It’s always fun to learn new things, right? And now we can all understand the NFL standings a little bit better. Anyway, that’s all for today’s little adventure. See you all next time!
