How it works

Build the greatest team you can from the whole history of the NFL — and see if it's good enough to go undefeated. It almost never is.

01

Draft a starting six

Six rounds, one roster slot each: QB, WR1, WR2, RB, TE, and a team defense. Fill them all and your squad is set.

02

Choose your difficulty

Classic shows you the eligible all-time options on the spin. Hard gives you the same team and era, but makes you identify the right player and season yourself.

03

Spin the board

Each round, the board spins to a random franchise and era. Eras can repeat, and the spin only lands on teams that still have an eligible option for your open slots.

04

Draft any open position

Pick any eligible player and drop them into an open slot. In Hard mode, search the player first, then choose from the seasons that fit that era. Filling a position locks it.

05

Picks lock — no take-backs

Once you draft a player, that slot is filled. A better option later? Tough. Choose carefully.

06

One reroll, use it wisely

Don't like the franchise and era you spun? You get a single Reroll for the whole draft that re-spins both at once. Spend it well.

07

Run the table

Your roster's era-adjusted ratings are run through a brutal win curve and scored out of 1700 points — 100 per game across a 17-game season.

08

You must be perfect

Points round to a record (1,551 → 16-1), but the top band is unforgiving: 1,650–1,699 still rounds DOWN to 16-1. Only a flawless 1,700 earns 17-0.
