Links: the NFL connection puzzle

One Daily puzzle a day, the same for everyone, that counts toward your streak. Extra innings has new puzzles every day in every league, just for fun.

How to play

• You get a start player and a finish player: NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, or two different sports.
• Name a player who shared a city with the last one in the same season: a teammate, or a rival across town. Each link is one stroke.
• Reach the finish in as few links as you can. Par is one more than the shortest chain. Three strikes and you're out.
