What happened: The project takes readers inside NFL headsets on game day to detail how coaches and staff communicate. It was put together with Jourdan Rodrigue and a graphics team.

Why it matters: Headset communication drives play calls, adjustments and game operations yet stays largely hidden from fans. A look at the full system explains how sideline and booth decisions connect during live action.

What to watch: The open question is whether the league or a team ever releases a full-game headset feed.
