==Success== Although NFL Films earns more than $50 million in revenue a year and is expanding at a double digit rate, compared to the $18 billion in revenue that the NFL earns from television alone, most consider this to be minor.<ref name=autogenerated1 /> The real value of NFL Films is how it packages and sells the game and many credit it as a key reason that the NFL has become the most watched sports league in the United States. In addition to covering the National Football League, NFL Films has also ventured into other unrelated documentary films, such as documenting the [[Munich massacre|Munich Olympics massacre]] for one of [[NBC]]'s Olympics telecasts and serving as back-up film photography for other major events, including the [[Stanley Cup Finals]] ([[NHL Original Productions]]), the [[NBA Finals]] ([[NBA Entertainment]]) and the [[World Series]] ([[MLB Productions]]). It also produced the video for [[Journey (band)|Journey]]'s 1983 hit single "[[Faithfully (song)|Faithfully]]". NFL Films also has worked with [[Volkswagen Group]] in producing Audi's ''[[Truth in 24]]'' series about Audi's efforts at the [[24 Hours of Le Mans]] using the signature style to package and sell the marque's efforts in France. NFL Films has also produced [[television commercial]]s for [[convenience store]] chain [[Sheetz]]. The company has also done films for major college football programs, such as [[Colorado State University]]; the company's 1977 film on CSU's football program used [[John Denver]]'s song "[[Rocky Mountain High]]" as well as an instrumental cover of [[The Beatles]]' song "[[Tell Me What You See]]", and noted alumni of the team who had gone on to NFL careers, such as Bill Larson of the [[1977 Detroit Lions season|Lions]] and Bill Kennedy of the [[1977 Baltimore Colts season|Colts]], Kevin McClain of the [[1977 Los Angeles Rams season|Rams]], and Greg Stamrick of the [[1977 Houston Oilers season|Oilers]]. NFL Films' distinctive style has been parodied in numerous commercials, particularly for the NFL's sponsors, including [[Sprint Nextel]] and [[Burger King]]. NFL Films has won 112 [[Sports Emmys]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://nflfilms.nfl.com/2013/05/08/nfl-films-celebrates-five-emmy-wins/|title=NFL Films Celebrates Five Emmy Wins|work=NFL Films|date=2013-05-08|access-date=2013-05-28}}</ref>
