The Top 100 is a ten-part series counting down the 100 greatest players in NFL history, as determined by a blue-ribbon panel of football experts, including former players, historians, scouts, team executives and writers. As each member of the Top 100 is revealed, their story is told by a single “presenter” – chosen from the worlds of sports, politics, film, television and literature – who possesses particular interest in that player and insight into his greatness.
Second Episode of ‘The Season’ on NFL.com Goes Inside Arrowhead Stadium
This week on ‘The Season,’ go inside the newly-renovated Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs and a fan base known throughout the league as “The Blood of Arrowhead.” The Chiefs, who in recent years have struggled in the AFC West, led the league at 3-0 going into Week 5 before a loss to Indianapolis—a record that had many wondering if this was a new and drastically improved team. This episode offers a glimpse into the notoriously loud stadium, featuring interviews with fans, players and executives, as well as footage from the Chief’s impressive start to the season.
Every week on NFL.com, a new webisode of ‘The Season’ will premiere, opening a new window into professional football to which fans and observers are usually not privy. The characters that will emerge over the next 12 weeks will spread across a broad spectrum—from quarterbacks to coaches, general managers to scouts, beer vendors to executives. ‘The Season’ is a project that’s not so much the story of the 2010 NFL season, but the tale of an NFL season – an important distinction. While who wins and who loses, who stars and who fumbles are all part of the story, they’re more incidental to the greater purpose of the piece – to provide a single, all-encompassing biography of a season.
