A Brit interested in following American football.....where to start?

[Boost]

As a UK guy we don't get a lot of exposure to NFL, however America loves it so i feel like i am missing out

What would be a good team to support..and are there any classic matches that i should try to get hold of?

I also need to brush up on the rules of the game

Americans take football for granted because they grow up with it but for an outsider there are ALOT of rules to learn.

Redskins should be put in that list. Gibbs won three titles as a head coach. The same as Belichik.

NFL gamepass HD seems to be a good way to watch NFL.

In Scandinavia we get 4-6 games a week thru ViaSat channel

Good evening.

Although Wikipedia cannot always be the most accurate source of information, it does provide good information on American football - from rules to history of the game.  You can also get some great info on www.nfl.com 

Even though I'm not a Cowboys fan, they are truly one of the marquee teams (while there is considerable debate on the subject, I would say the Pittsburg Steelers are another).  The Cowboys are, in fact, sort of a "lightning rod" in that most fans either love them or hate them (kind of like Man U in the EPL). 

American football is a great game and I hope you enjoy watching it when you get the chance to do so.
