Is today! The Super Bowl will attract millions of people to the front of the TV – in what is annually the event with the highest audience on American television – and that grows in interest here in Brazil year after year. But, of course, not everyone sits on the couch just to watch the game itself. The Super Bowl has other attractions, such as millionaire commercial breaks and a special show – which, in 2023, is by singer Rihanna.
Thinking about it, the Digital Look “chatted” with ChatGPT, OpenAI’s language model, to create a guide for those who want to watch the Super Bowl, but don’t know very well how it all works. After all, the Super Bowl is the season finale of the NFL, American football league – a very popular sport in the United States, but not so much on the underside of Ecuador.

How does the American football game work?
American football is played by two teams, each consisting of 11 players on the field. The objective of the game is to score points by advancing the ball from the opponent’s field to the end zone (finish line) or scoring points with field goal kicks.
The game is divided into four quarters of 15 minutes each, with breaks between the first two quarters and between the third and fourth quarters. At the start of each game, kickoff (or receiving) takes place, where one of the teams chooses whether to kick or receive the ball.
The team in possession of the ball (striker) has four chances (or “downs”) to advance the ball at least 10 yards toward the opposing endzone. If the team fails to advance the ball 10 yards in four attempts, possession of the ball passes to the opposing team. If the team advances the ball 10 yards, it gets four more attempts to advance the ball again. This process is repeated until the ball is placed in the opponent’s end zone or until a turnover occurs (loss of possession of the ball).
The game is marked by a combination of short passes and running with the ball, as well as interception attempts and tackles by the defense. The winning team is the one that scores the most points at the end of the game.
What are American football scores?
In American football, there are several ways to score points:
- Touchdown (TD): It is scored when the ball is taken to the opponent’s end zone or when it is caught by a player in the opponent’s end zone. It’s worth six points.
- Field Goal (FG): It is scored when the kicker hits a field kick. Worth three points.
- Extra Point (PAT): Scored after a touchdown, when the team chooses to kick a one-point conversion or run or throw the ball for a two-point conversion. Worth a point or two.
- Safety (SFTY): Is scored when the opposing offense is caught in their own end zone. It’s worth two points for the defense.
These are the main ways to score points in American football.
What are the positions in American football?
There are several positions in American football, here are the main ones:
- Quarterback (QB): Offensive leader and responsible for commanding the team and throwing the ball.
- Running back (RB): Plays with the ball and is responsible for running with it or catching short passes.
- Wide Receiver (WR): Receives passes thrown by the quarterback.
- Tight End (TE): Receives passes and is also used for blocks.
- Offensive Line (OL): Group of players who form the offensive line and are responsible for protecting the quarterback and opening space for runners.

Why do football players wear helmets?
American football players wear helmets to protect their heads and skulls from injury during the game. American football is a contact sport, with a lot of tackles, blocks and body shocks. Without the use of helmets, players would be subject to serious head and skull injuries, including concussions and head injuries.
Football helmets are designed to absorb and disperse impact while providing a protective barrier for the head and skull. They are made from lightweight yet strong materials such as rigid plastic and polystyrene foam, and are lined internally with layers of foam for added protection. Additionally, many football helmets now include advanced protective technologies, such as sensors that measure head impact and send information to the NFL’s database to help identify and prevent injuries.
