Numerous conspiracy theorists have speculated that, similar to the WWE, the NFL might script their games.
If you happen to be among those who entertain the notion that the NFL’s games are scripted, you might find the following information intriguing and even consider placing a wager or two before kickoff.
A photo has been circulating on social media, depicting the field in Frankfurt where the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins are scheduled to play in the latest installment of this season’s International Series.
What makes this image particularly noteworthy is the presence of a screen at the bottom. Many have observed that it displays a score and certain game statistics, despite the game not having started yet.
As expected, some have interpreted this as the NFL inadvertently revealing their script to the public.

While that’s one possibility, a far more plausible explanation could be that the scoreboard operators and the league’s statisticians were conducting routine tests to ensure that their systems were functioning correctly at Frankfurt Stadium—a venue that has never hosted an NFL game before.
One significant clue lies in the fact that the scoreboard features the Dolphins’ field-goal kicker, Jason Sanders, booting a punt for 45 yards, a detail that several keen-eyed observers were quick to point out.
Should Sanders indeed execute a punt during the game, the NFL would find itself embroiled in a substantial controversy.
However, it’s important to recognize that this furor arises from the ongoing speculation about scripted NFL games that continues to circulate on social media.
