Picture the full length of an NFL football field including end zones: 357 yards is about 3 times its measured length.
An NFL field is 120 yards long when its two 10-yard end zones are included with the 100-yard field of play. Using its published size of 120 yards, dividing 357 by that reference gives 3 of those measurements.
