About DeepBall

DeepBall is a daily NFL trivia game. Every day brings seven “Name a…” questions about NFL players — a team, a position, an era — and you get one answer each before the play clock runs out.

Any right answer gains yards. The rarer your answer, the more yards it's worth: a household name moves the chains a little, a deep cut nobody else thought of goes the distance. A new set goes live every day at midnight Eastern.

Who makes it

DeepBall is made by Rob Golterman. It was inspired by Krillion (krillion.io), the daily game where the rarest right answer wins — DeepBall takes that idea of hunting for deep cuts to football.
