The NFL playoffs are among the most exciting events in sports. The limited number of teams that make the playoffs, along with the enthusiastic atmosphere in the stadiums, increase the pressures applied to athletes with each play. You can watch the NFL playoffs in a way that harnesses this excitement and intensity.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Updated rosters for NFL playoff teams

    Maximize the Enjoyment of Watching the NFL Playoffs

  1. Step 1

    Raise your excitement level for the NFL playoffs by watching highlights of past playoff games. The major sports networks will run clips of playoff games and Super Bowls in the days preceding the first round of the playoffs.

  2. Step 2

    Stake your claim to playoff seats for your favorite team as early as possible. Most NFL teams allow people to purchase the rights to tickets around mid-season if the team is playing well enough to warrant this consideration. If you aren't a season ticket holder, you will need to work hard to get a hold of individual tickets, since their availability is limited.

  3. Step 3

    Bring your friends and family to a local sports bar to watch the NFL playoffs. Every city has at least one bar where several TV sets show football on Sundays. Keep an eye out for bar advertisements for food specials or contests held during games to fill the time during commercials and between games.

  4. Step 4

    Print out updated rosters and other cheat sheets on each NFL playoff team before you sit down to watch a game. You can keep track of substitutions or injured players before the broadcast to enhance your enjoyment of the playoffs.

  5. Step 5

    Gain insight into each playoff game by watching pre-game and post-game reports on multiple channels. Switch between coverage offered by the network broadcasting the game and another sports channel like ESPN that has a general pre-game show.

  6. Step 6

    Enjoy the playoff atmosphere at an NFL city without holding a ticket by tailgating with friends. You can listen to the radio pre-game show, enjoy the company of other NFL fans and eat good food several hours before kickoff.

Tips & Warnings
  • Cook barbecue foods and special baked goods that originate from cities like St. Louis, New York City or Chicago. Use food coloring and plastic decorations to create a buffet of football-related foods.
