SYNOPSIS: Dodge Connolly, a charming, brash football
hero who is determined to guide his team from bar brawls
to packed stadiums. But after the players lose their sponsor
and the entire league faces certain collapse, Dodge convinces
a college football star to join his ragtag ranks. The captain
hopes his latest move will help the struggling sport finally
capture the country's attention. Welcome to the team Carter
Rutherford, America's favorite son. A golden-boy war hero
who single-handedly forced multiple German soldiers to surrender
in WWI, Carter has dashing good looks and unparalleled speed
on the field. This new champ is almost too good to be true,
and Lexie Littleton aims to prove that's the case. A cub
journalist playing in the big leagues, Lexie is a spitfire
newswoman who suspects there are holes in Carter's war story.
But while she digs, the two teammates start to become serious
off-field rivals for her fickle affections. As the new game
of pro-football becomes less like the freewheeling sport
he knew and loved, Dodge must both fight to keep his guys
together and to get the girl of his dreams. Finding that
love and football have a surprisingly similar playbook,
however, he has one maneuver he will save just for the fourth
quarter...
