# 18-0

> 17-0 (at 18-0.co) is a free pro football history game that runs in a web browser at 18-0.co. Each spin lands on a franchise and an era; you take exactly one player season from it, fill seven slots (a quarterback, two running backs, two receivers, a tight end and a team defense), and get a deterministic rating mapped to a 17-game record from 0-17 to 17-0. Every card is a real season from 1980 to 2025, rated against its own era, with 4,872 rated seasons across 218 franchise-era combinations built from nflverse data. The same roster always earns the same record, and ranked seasons are scored on the server. It is open source (MIT); a public TestFlight beta exists for iPhone and iPad, and no account is required to play.
