The brief

Football video games ask you to be good with a controller. Murica Bowl asks you to be good at football. You are the coach: you draw the routes, you set the coverage, you decide whether this is the down to take a shot deep. Then the play runs and you find out.

A game is a series of those decisions against a friend or against the AI. Send someone a link and you are playing head to head, no download and no sign up. Leagues keep a season running so there is something to argue about in the group chat until February.

It is a web app first. Open it in a tab, or add it to a home screen and it runs full screen with no browser chrome, in any orientation.

What makes it work

  1. 01

    You draw the play

    Drag a route for each receiver. Tap a defender then an opponent to lock press man, or drag into the backfield to blitz.

  2. 02

    Send a link, play a friend

    Head to head games start from a shared URL. No install, no account, no lobby to sit in.

  3. 03

    Or start instantly

    Play the AI in a single tap when there is nobody around to beat.

  4. 04

    Leagues that run a season

    Standings, stats and enough of a paper trail to talk trash all year.
