Accuracy first

  • Every score, record, seed and statistic comes from official game data delivered by our sports data provider, never from rumor or social media.
  • Playoff seeds, tiebreakers and clinching follow the NFL rules. A team is shown as clinched or eliminated only once it is mathematically certain.
  • Kickoff times are given in Eastern Time, with your own time zone shown beside them. TV channels follow the published national broadcast schedule.

How texts are written

Data pages (standings, schedules, box scores, the bracket) are generated directly from the data. Season reports, game previews and game recaps are drafted with the help of AI writing tools from a fact sheet built only from that data.

Before any AI-drafted text is published, it is checked automatically: every number and every name in it must appear in the fact sheet, and the length, tone and banned phrases are checked too. A text that fails any check is not published, and the page shows a plain data summary instead. Texts are rewritten when the facts they rest on change, for example after the next game.

Articles and guides are published under the responsibility of the editor, M Muktadir.

Independence

  • We are not affiliated with the NFL, its teams or broadcasters, and we do not accept payment for coverage.
  • Advertising is placed automatically and never influences what we write.
  • We do not publish betting odds or betting advice.

Corrections

If you find an error, send it through the contact page with the page address and what is wrong. We review every report, and when a fact is wrong we fix it on the page, usually within two business days. Data errors are also corrected at the source, so every page that uses the same fact is updated together.

Significant corrections to an article or guide are noted at the end of that article with the date of the change. Pages that update automatically after every game show their last update time at the top.
