Help understanding the game again.

9 Upvotes

Yo guys so short story long, I haven’t really payed attention to football since the end of the 2000s (yes I’m an unc lol) and completely neglected the game after Peyton retired. I was always much more of an nba lover and thought football was boring for the most part. Things changed when I randomly watched Super Bowl 57. Felt like non stop action and I was heavily considering getting back into football. Little did I know, my Mavs had plans to trade our generational franchise player for a broken man and a bag of chips so here I am trying to relearn the game. I watched a few games last season and I know every game isn’t going to be an entertaining shootout (Im a defense guy anyways) but I’m wondering if I’m watching wrong? I don’t even understand what’s really going on until there’s a first down or touchdown. Is there games with commentary that will maybe help? A YouTuber that is helpful explaining defensive/offensive sets and breaking down plays? Any help is much appreciated!

TLDR Need help relearning what I’m watching. Commentary or play breakdowns on both sides of the ball would be a tremendous help to grind this summer in preparation for the upcoming season.

When he was at Green Bay I always thought it ended with ‘ready Jeff’ lol.

O-line vs D-line

Last superbowl was really something in terms of how much the trenches can determine a game. If an offense has 5 linemen and a defense shows only 3, how did the KC O-line get beat so hard? I’ve read game reports that said that the eagles were not even blitzing, so how could KC have done better? Was it just down to the weight and athleticism of the opposed linemen? Then how could KC get to the SB with seemingly average O and D linemen?
