This production by the NFL and NFL Films explores the intersection of popular music and professional football. In the opening segment, members of the band Creed hang out with wide receiver Wayne Chrebet of the New York Jets and talk about how athletes want to be musicians and vice versa. A theme of what type of music gets football players psyched for a game continues throughout the 40-minute program, and an assortment of NFL stars, including Peyton Manning, Jevon Kearse, and Jake Plummer, appear briefly to talk about their musical preferences and how music affects them. The program features a series of music videos in which game footage of players is cut with clips of musicians. A comical segment on "Sounds of the Game" features some classic clips of fans freaking out and bellowing in stadium parking lots. And a charming and subtly funny segment features Vikings head coach Dennis Green seated at a full drum set, engaged in an energetic solo. In interview segments, Green talks about how his childhood drum lessons, in which he learned to "keep the beat," have helped him to be a head coach. Musicians featured in this generally entertaining production include Moby, Eve, Republica, and Static X
