Weekly

A focused newsletter on the NFL season, for people outside the US, until the Super Bowl on 14 February

What an issue holds

Once a week from September to the Super Bowl on 14 February 2027: the standout games explained in plain terms, the standings, an injury that matters and one rule or piece of jargon unpacked. For someone new to American football, not for someone who already knows it.

What it leaves out

Not fantasy football advice and rosters, not betting lines and odds, not draft speculation before it is close, not coverage that assumes the reader already knows the rules.

Where the news comes from

The league's own news, ESPN NFL news, Pro Football Talk, The Guardian: NFL, BBC Sport: American football.

Nobody gets this one yet. It starts when you do.
