Especially for our friend "GG", if you are looking for a nice implementation of an American Football game,
try the new FQF
boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/243113/fourth-quarter-football
I have also finished first miniatures

The rules are easy and the "Plays" are deck building. There are 3 different plays available, "Run, Pass and Trick Play".
Sadly the rules are poorly written and most players hope to get a revised rulebook soon, but as i said, the rules itself are general easy,
if you have a good knowledge of American Football.
@GG: There is also a Vassalmodule available, sadly also a little bit clumsy implemented, otherwise we could play a match.
Patrick Mahomes would beat your Drew Brees then
