All eyes on #NFLTwitter
Football is back. But the biggest cheers are now Tweets. Before games, during games, after games – fans can’t get enough of the NFL talk on Twitter.
Best seats in the house
If emoji use is any indication, people are psyched to experience the games from the comfort of their homes. A comfy sofa, 4k TV, and all you can eat – what more do they need?
Tailgating, 2020 style
Game day grub looks totally different this year. But with recipes on the decline, maybe there’s a chance to remind fans of other ways to bond over football food, even if that tailgate party is virtual now.
Twitter's the new Jumbotron
People don’t just talk about football on Twitter, they watch it. Highlights, interviews, fan reactions, and more. #NFLTwitter loves video. Does it have a place in your brand’s game plan?
Sports fans are doing the wave
With thrilling NBA, WNBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, and now the return of the NFL, sports fans are bringing their A-game to Twitter. And there’s no sign of it slowing down soon. Make sure your brands get in on the action.
