Question

【題目】 The National Football League is exciting for many Americans. If you live in the US and don't understand the sport, you can easily feel left out. Here are some tips to help you go from outsider to super fan.

Pick a team to root for

There are 32 NFL teams. Cheering for your hometown team is always a possibility. But if you don't have a team in your city, you can hop on another team's bandwagon（搭上另一隊的順風車）. Although there are different opinions, you can feel the satisfaction of winning almost any given week this way. If you still cannot decide, just pick a team with a cool logo or uniform!

Learn the basic rules

There are two teams, each with 11 players on the field. The team on offense（進攻）aims to run with the ball to the competing team's end zone for a touchdown（觸地得分）or kick the ball through the other team's goalposts for a field goal. The team on defense（防守）aims to stop these things from happening or take control of the ball for themselves. The team with the most points at the end wins.

Get into the drama

It's exciting to see powerful players moving the ball forward on offense, and equally powerful defensive players trying to stop them from getting points. The game sometimes causes serious damage to players' brains. "As long as no one gets terribly injured, the hitting is the best part," said Calvin White, a 16-year-old from New York.

Watch the Super Bowl

The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the NFL. Nearly 110 million viewers will watch this game on TV. Even non-fans don't want to miss the stars show. It's not only a treat for US football fans, but also a global game.
