OP here, an example would be the length of a football field is 120 yards, a touchdown is worth 6 points, etc. Not the only undefeated team ever was the 1972 dolphins. just the game not the stats.

fun fact:
the nfl could have been 30 games per season, but the white people in control knew that it would get talked about the rest of the year because of all the niggers that can't help but do stupid shit in the offseason

The forward pass was not legalized until 1906 in a move to make the game safer

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill claims to be the first college team to use the forward pass in an 1895 game against the University of Georgia. However, the play was illegal at the time

wouldn't it be more fun to make up some obscure bullshit and see if it gets you a good grade?

the goalposts were moved from the front of the end-zone to the back after the death of larry o'leary in the 1967 packers/redsking game. o'leary caught a blindside block while blitzing and crashed his head into the support base and collapsed on the field.

The Packers are not the best team in sports, and the only people who think so are people who think wearing giant cheese hats makes them cool.

The first ever Super Bowl MVP Max McGee was blitzed out of his mind and hungover for the whole game.

To haze rookies in training camp, DE Charles Haley used to slap every rookie in camp in the face with his cock.

Speaking of hazing, in Saints camp rookie Kyle Turley told his new teammates he refused to get hazed. A big group of veterans showed him by crushing and blowing out his knee. It almost ended his career.

There's more...

-American football sucks
-There are too many rules
-Padding is for pussies
-The 20 minutes of game time are in between 3 hours of commercials.
-No-one outside the US cares about American Football.

You're halfway there.

The fumblerooski has been outlawed since 1992 in college, and sometime in the 60s for pros.

The "Holy Roller" play led to the following rule changes in the NFL for 1979: If a ball is fumbled on fourth down or in the last two minutes of a game, only the fumbling player may advance the football.

A limited system of instant replay was used from 1986-1992 in the NFL. It was brought back in its current form in 1999.
Kickoffs were moved from the 40 to the 35 in 1974 and back to the 30 in 1994.

Two-point conversion was introduced to college in 1958 and NFL in 1994.
Hashmarks were narrowed in 1972 to increase scoring.
