Team pages are here, and scores now update themselves
Every NFL team now has its own page, with records, season stats, team leaders and a full schedule. And once a game kicks off, the score updates on its own, no refresh needed.
A couple of days ago I gave every game its own details page. Pretty much the moment that shipped, the obvious next question was staring back at me: what about the teams? A game page tells you plenty about a single matchup, but sometimes you just want to know who a team actually is this season before you back them. So I’ve built that. Every NFL team now has its own page too.
From a game’s details page, tap either team and you’ll land on that team’s page, everything about their season in one place.
What’s on a team page
There’s a fair bit here, so here’s the rundown:
- The essentials up top. The team’s logo, where they play, their record, and where they sit in the playoff picture, all in the header so you get the shape of their season at a glance.
- The season at a glance. A grid of the numbers that actually matter: record, win percentage, points for and against, point differential, current streak, and their home, road, division and conference splits.
- Team leaders. The players actually putting up the numbers, their leading passer, rusher and receiver, each with a headshot, position and the stat that earned them the spot. This is the deeper player data I’ve been wanting to surface for a while.
- Full season statistics. The detailed stat groups, each with the total, the per-game average, and where that ranks across the league, colour-coded so a top-eight number and a bottom-of-the-league number are easy to tell apart.
- The whole schedule. Every game on their season, week by week, with the result and score for the ones already played and the date for the ones still to come.
Scores now update on their own
The other thing I shipped is smaller to describe but you’ll feel it every game day: scores now update themselves.
Until now, if you had the app open while a game was going, you had to refresh to see the score move. That’s gone. While a game is in progress, the score and game status update on their own, roughly once a minute, no refresh needed. It works on the Picks page and on a game’s details page, so the win probability, the score by quarter and the final result all keep themselves current as the game plays out.
I tried to be sensible about it. It only bothers to check when a game is actually being played, so past and future weeks don’t poll for no reason. And it pauses the moment you switch to another tab and picks back up when you return, so it isn’t quietly hammering away in the background while you’re doing something else.
Go have a look
Open the Picks page, tap into a game, and from there tap into a team. The live scores won’t have much to do until the season comes back in September, but the team pages are worth a poke around right now, if only to start building your case for who’s actually going to be good this year.
See you on the leaderboard when the games that count return.
