The new football season has kicked off in the United States, and the 2012-2013 season looks set to be a good one. This promo video, which acts as a preview of the NFL season, really gets the blood pumping.

The first game of the 2012-2013 season took place on Wednesday (Sept. 5), with the defending champions the New York Giants playing the Dallas Cowboys.

The season will conclude on Feb. 3, 2013 with Super Bowl XLVII taking place in New Orleans, Louisiana. Before that we have five months of action to enjoy.

I must admit I’m not into football, being British and all. But I can certainly see the appeal, and appreciate the spectacle. Despite the brute force of some players, considerable skill is also needed.
