Available as a year-round game, Buzztime Sports: Football Edition provides an outlet for pro football knowledge any day of the week. Each round of the game is comprised of fifteen trivia questions that cover game history, stats and general knowledge as well as other fast-changing topics.

Each Tuesday during the season, the Buzztime Sports: Football Edition leaderboard shows the updated scoring totals for all 32 NFL teams and announces the winner for that week. Contributions from all registered players for the past week are reflected in the totals. At the end of the NFL season only one team will be on top, thanks to the enthusiastic support and performance of their most informed and passionate fans.
