For 345 days (and counting), Connections: Sports Edition<\/a> has aimed to test sports fans\u2019 wordplay and trivia skills through a carefully crafted puzzle.<\/p>\n

With the 2025 NFL season kicking off this month, we\u2019re going a bit bigger.<\/p>\n

Introducing Connections: Sports Edition \u2014 NFL team-themed edition.\u00a0The Athletic\u2019s deep roster of NFL reporters and I worked together to produce a team-themed Connections: Sports Edition game on all 32 NFL franchises. Those games are available to play below, and they\u2019re separate from the daily game \u2014 meaning they\u2019re available all month.<\/p>\n

Test your knowledge of your team, and the rest of the league, all month long. Our NFL writers contributed a mix of current and historic ideas, adding bits of team trivia to every game.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to play: Each game board features 16 clues, and the objective is to find four groups of four items that share a commonality. The categories range from straightforward to tricky.<\/p>\n

Watch out for words that seem to belong to multiple categories; those are intentional traps! Success is finding the correct solution without making four mistakes.<\/p>\n

Feeling up for it? When you\u2019re done solving your team\u2019s puzzle, enter our contest<\/a>, and you could be selected to help design a personal Connections: Sports Edition puzzle to be released later this season.<\/p>\n
