American Football Timeline Widget

Add an American Football match timeline to a post.

The Timeline widget shows the sequence of events within a single American Football match, quarter by quarter.

The fastest way to add a American Football widget: hover any block and click the American Football icon directly — no need to open the full block picker and search a category list.

Preconditions

  • Your project must have the American Football feature enabled. Widget categories are switched on per project, so if American Football widgets does not appear in the block picker, ask your administrator to enable it.
  • You need permission to create or edit articles.
  • You need a specific match, so this widget is match-scoped rather than competition-scoped.

Adding the American Football Timeline Widget to a post

To set up the widget:

  1. Open an article for editing, or create a new one.
  2. Hover over a block in the article body. A row of icons appears, one for each sport enabled on your project — the American Football icon is highlighted here.

  3. Select the American Football icon, then choose Timeline from the widget list that opens.

  4. Set the widget options. Team, Refresh time control what it shows.

  5. Check the options are the ones you want. Some fields depend on others, so a list can be empty until you set the field above it.

  6. Setting a team reveals a list of that team’s matches, grouped under Upcoming games, Past games and Interrupted games tabs. Select the specific match you want — the widget has nothing to show until one is checked.

  • Refresh time — Controls how often the published widget refetches its data. Leave empty to use your project’s global refresh setting.

What the American Football Timeline Widget shows

The timeline is built from match events, such as scoring plays and turnovers. Turnover-on-downs is a real event type the widget can show, alongside the more common scoring plays:

  • Quarter — quarter boundary: marks where each quarter begins and ends
  • Score — running score: points as they accumulate through the match

Good to know

Only the preview shows the real widget. The collapsed block and the options panel show a CMS summary card instead — always check preview before publishing.

  • The preview area is narrower than a published page, so the widget uses its compact layout there and may hide columns that the published version shows.
  • The widget always renders whichever version of the sports widgets library your project is on. There is no version to set.
