Created and written by Fogelman, the series is set inside the world of the NFL and has a generational family component to it.

Meloni plays the team’s head coach Danny, with fellow series regulars Sam Corlett and Tanner Zagarino as his sons, William H. Macy as the team owner Hank, Mandy Moore and Chloe Bennet as Hank’s daughters, and Chace Crawford as the team’s new General Manager. Omar Epps also will recur.
