American football is a game of contrasts: the grace of the wide receiver diving for a pass; the intense battles of the warlike offensive and defensive lines - even called the trenches; the dancing steps of the running back knifing through a tiny hole in the line; the blocking back bulldozing his way downfield; the skill of the quarterback searching for an open receiver; and the swarming of the defence attempting to cause mayhem in the offensive backfield. This all happens 120 times a game. Divided into seven chapters, this fans' guide looks at American football from every angle, historical and present-day, from the field and the stands, as a player and as a fan. Fully illustrated throughout, with a special full-spread photograph to open each section, the book is for both the experienced pro fan and the as-yet unitiated rookie spectator. The guide covers every facet of the NFL, but gives the most emphasis to football in the 1980s and 1990s when the wide-open passing offences became more prevalent. The talent-level in the NFL is probably at an all-time high as better athletes are now playing.
