Okay… NFL scores today. Here we go again.
Right now I’m sitting in my stupidly cold living room in Ohio (December 27, 2025 — hello polar vortex), feet shoved into two pairs of socks, hoodie up, phone balanced on my chest like it’s life support, refreshing the NFL app every 9 seconds. NFL scores today are currently ruining my blood pressure and I love/hate every second of it.
Last week I legitimately screamed “NOOOOOO” so loud when the Bengals fumbled that my neighbor texted me “u good bro?” at 1:17 a.m. Embarrassing? Yes. Surprising? Not really.
Why I’m Still Insanely Obsessed With NFL Scores Today in 2025
Look — streaming services are better, redzone is god-tier, and yet somehow I still end up with 17 tabs open, three different score apps, and Twitter (sorry, X) on fire because apparently everyone needs to tell me the Chiefs are frauds 47 times per quarter.
I’ve tried the “chill fan” thing. I lasted 14 minutes into Week 1 before I was back to live-updating my group chat like a lunatic.
Here are the cursed ways I actually track NFL scores today (judge me, I deserve it):
- The official NFL app (reliable but somehow always 8 seconds behind when it matters most)
- ESPN app + notifications (my phone vibrates more than my last situationship)
- Yahoo Fantasy because apparently suffering through fantasy football makes regular live NFL scores feel less painful
- That one sketchy browser extension that shows pop-up scores even when I’m trying to watch Netflix with my girlfriend (she hates me)
- Asking Siri “what are the NFL scores today” like she’s my personal scorekeeper (she gets 60% of them right and I still thank her)
My Worst NFL Scores Today Meltdown (So Far This Season)
Week 13. Lions vs. Packers. I had money on Detroit -3.5. I’m in a Buffalo Wild Wings, alone, on a Tuesday night because I had to “work late” (I was just avoiding my responsibilities).
Game goes to overtime. Lions kick a field goal. I stand up screaming. Everyone stares. Then Packers hit a 52-yard bomb for the win. I sit back down, stare at my half-eaten boneless wings, and whisper “I’m never betting again” (I placed another bet 14 minutes later).
Moral of the story: NFL scores today will find a way to humble you. Every. Single. Time.
Quick Tips From Someone Who’s Terrible At This
- Set very specific notifications — “only alert me for touchdowns” or you will lose your mind
- Don’t read the comments section during live games unless you enjoy rage blackouts
- Have at least two different sources for today’s NFL scores because one WILL crash during a comeback
- If your team is losing by 21 in the 3rd, just turn the TV off and pretend you’re an adult with hobbies (I’ve never done this)
- Chicken wings taste better when your team wins. Scientifically proven (by me).
Wrapping This Chaos Up
So yeah… NFL scores today still have me acting unwise in my 30s. I’m not proud. But I’m also not stopping.
If you’re also terminally online about football, drop your most embarrassing live-scores meltdown in the comments — I need to feel less alone.
And if you want the most trustworthy real-time source, I personally lean on the combo of NFL.com + the ESPN app. Solid gold.
Stay safe out there, friends. And may your team cover the spread this week (unlike mine, apparently).

Now excuse me while I refresh the app 47 more times before the late games start.
