How these answers are checked

A player is a valid answer when the nflverse roster files (1960–2026, CC BY 4.0) put him on both teams' rosters in at least one season each, in any order. Rarity is his share of all the seasons played by that square's valid answers, so a long career scores high and a short one low. Seasons count for today's franchise (Houston Oilers seasons count for the Titans).

Is my answer right if it is not listed here?

This page shows the best-known and the rarest picks for each square. Every square's full list is on its “played for both” page, linked under the square; any player on that list was accepted on October 8, 2026.

Why was a player I know rejected?

The roster files count a team only when he was on its roster in a season (1960 or later). Practice-squad-only spells do not count, and careers before 1960 are not in the data. If a real roster season is missing, tell us on the contact page.
