People all over the United States of America play football. There are also other countries that play football. There are pee-wee football leagues for small children. You move up in the leagues as you get older and older. Eventually you will move up to Junior Varsity and then Varsity. Then after those you have a chance to move up to college and maybe even the NFL. NFL stands for National Football League. Some games are even played in London, England. My favorite team is the Pittsburgh Steelers. They play at a stadium called Heinz Field. Their record is They aren't doing great this season but they still have a chance to go to the playoffs if they win more games and other teams loose. Last week against the Oakland Raiders Roethlisberger sprained his foot. He wasn't scheduled to be back for another two or three weeks. Then he decided to see if his foot was any better. He decided that his foot was good enough to practice with the team. The Steelers second string quarterback Michael Vick is still on the inactive list so the head coach Mike Tomlin put Roethlisberger in as the back up. In the first half of the game the starter Landry Jones got hurt. Roethlisberger came in and set a record for the most passing yards for a backup quarterback. The Steelers are currently tied for one of the AFC wild card spots. They are tied with the Kansas City Chiefs and the New York Jets.
