Abstract (2. Language): 
In this paper the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique has been used to measure de efficiency of the 32 teams’ payroll in the National Football League (NFL) in season 2014. The financial structure of the NFL promotes competition and does not favour any franchise, which assures that no team is able to overspend to win. Besides victories, several output variables have been taken into account to measure de statistics of the on-the-field performance, such as points per game and yards per attempt. Finally, the article shows that, not always teams, which make it to the post-season, are the most efficient.

Abstract (Original Language): 
En este trabajo se utiliza la técnica Análisis Envolvente de Datos (DEA), para medir la eficiencia de los pagos de salarios a jugadores de los 32 equipos de la Liga Nacional de Football (NFL) en la temporada 2014. La estructura financiera de la NFL, incentiva la competencia y no favorece a ningún equipo, lo cual asegura que ninguna franquicia puede gastar excesivamente para ganar. Además de las victorias, se han tomado como variables decisoras de salida estadísticas de desempeño en-el-campo, como los puntos por partido y las yardas por intento. Por último, el artículo muestra que no siempre, los equipos que llegan a la postemporada son los más eficientes.
