A romantic comedy set against the backdrop of America's nascent pro-football league in 1925. Dodge Connolly (George Clooney), a charming, brash football hero, is determined to guide his team from bar brawls to packed stadiums. But after the players lose their sponsor and the entire league faces certain collapse, Dodge convinces a college football star to join his ragtag ranks. Welcome to the team Carter Rutherford (John Krasinksi), a golden-boy war hero who single-handedly forced multiple German soldiers to surrender in WWI. This new champ is almost too good to be true, and Lexie Littleton (Rene Zellweger) aims to prove that's the case. A cub journalist playing in the big leagues, Lexie is a spitfire newswoman who suspects there are holes in Carter's war story. But while she digs, the two teammates start to become serious off-field rivals for her fickle affections.
