How NFL Territory Conquest Works
- Every team starts with the land closest to its stadium.
- Win a game and you take all of the loser's territory.
- Territory carries over all season, with no resets until next year.
- London games and neutral sites still follow winner-takes-all
- Los Angeles and New York teams use their training facility locations
- Click any territory to trace every team that held it.
