After two 15-minute quarters that comprise the first half of an NFL football game, a 12-minute break, known as halftime, is taken by the teams. During this break, the teams rest and devise a strategy for the second half of the game.
Before the 1990 NFL season, teams had a 15-minute halftime break. The halftime period in a Super Bowl, however, lasts for 30 minutes.
