Talmud All set with berachot WEB The short answer is obviously no. There is no mention of the the "big game" in the Talmud as American Football had not yet been invented.

How can an audience member save a life of a gladiator? The The Noé Edition Koren Talmud Bavliexplains in the "Background" note below: sb2 Whether you are enjoying the football festivities with friends and family or studying in the Beit Midrash this Sunday (or anything in between), the Koren Publishers team wish for everyone to stay healthy, happy, and safe this weekend.
