Social media giant [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facebook-debuts-at-stagecoach) recently compiled a map infographic that showcases where in the United States the most popular NFL team fans are. The map uses color to visually depict the different regions that are most dedicated to each NFL football team.

The 'National Football League' infographic typographically showcases where the biggest NFL team fans are and which teams have the most loyal followings. Facebook created the map using data collected from Facebook users and their NFL team Likes. According to the map, the Broncos and the [Cowboys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glamnetic-x-fanatics-collection) are the most liked teams as they take up the largest portions of the map. There are a few surprises however such as Wisconsin having quite a few [Packers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phillyhead) fans. While the data is only based on Facebook-related Likes, it is still interesting to see where large NFL fandoms exist.
