The Timeline

The master storytellers at NFL Films collaborate with VIP celebrities like George Clooney, Tim McGraw and Jeremy Renner to chronicle seminal moments in the league's illustrious history. Clooney co-produces the story about how a smuggled audio recording of Super Bowl XIV buoys the spirits of U.S. hostages in Iran in 1980. McGraw co-produces, narrates and contributes music to an episode detailing his close friend Brett Favre's return to Green Bay as a member of the rival Minnesota Vikings. And Renner lends his voice to a two-part film examining the rivalry between the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys, and the impact each franchise has had on its city. Episodes also detail the merger between the National Football League and the American Football League, and the landmark move of the Giants from New York to New Jersey.
