How do NFL squares work?
NFL squares use a grid of 100 squares, with one team across the top and the other down the side. Players take squares, then the numbers 0 to 9 are drawn for each team. At the end of each quarter, the last digit of each score points to the winning square.
For a full example with scores, see how to play football squares.
