Current Daily Star Sunday and Sunday Express Sports Editor – and avid fan – Michael Ham has almost 20 years of experience in sports news journalism and is the writer behind The Touchdown Collective.

He said: “I’ve been watching the NFL since 2000 and have watched it become a global sport creating millions of new fans all over the , especially in the UK and Europe, thanks to the International Series games and other initiatives like the International Player Pathway.

“With the enormous appetite of fans to keep up to speed with the latest in the game not only for their team but across the wider NFL, we’re here to help.

“We’ll closely follow all the latest press interactions from coaches, players, and team executives, while our in-depth summaries will pick up on the key quotes, controversies and tactical insights in the game. Breaking down the best moments from NFL-related podcasts, including from some of the most trusted voices in the sport, you’ll feel like you’re inside the game.

“Breaking news is constantly reshaping the NFL landscape, and we’ll ensure you stay up to speed with every headline.

“We’ll also offer a deep dive into team tactics, coaching philosophy, and game-day decisions. From offensive schemes to defensive adjustments, we explain what worked, what didn’t, and where teams go from here. Are they too reliant on the run? Can their defense keep stopping teams in the red zone? Is that star receiver really worth building the offense around?

“Our goal is to help you become an expert not only on the players but also on the broader strategic elements which make NFL games so fascinating.”

The Touchdown Collective aims to provide well-researched, fact-driven insights to keep you in the know.

But we’re more than just a newsletter – we’re building a football community. A place where fans can come together to share ideas, discuss the highs and lows of the season – and dissect every key moment from between the hashmarks.

Whether you're at work, home or in the stands, this is your space to talk football, grow your knowledge, and be part of something bigger.

So where and how do I join?

The Touchdown Collective will be published on Substack, an independent platform with no ads, making for a cleaner reading experience than on many other websites.

You can read there on desktop or the app, or simply from your email inbox. So not only do you not have to go searching for the news itself – or wait for the algorithm to decide this is what you might like to see – you don’t even have to search for the newsletter. Once it’s live it’s sent directly to you to read at your leisure.

So what’s in our playbook…?

Each newsletter will consist of a number of different sections, each with just what you need to stay one step ahead of the game, one play at a time. Just some of those to look out for include:

- Press Coverage: Bringing you the best news lines from respected sources who are inside the game, pre-match previews with the latest from inside NFL locker rooms, post-match analysis and so much more

- Get to the Post: The best of socials from around the NFL, things you might have missed and the best light-hearted moments guaranteed to bring a smile to your face

- Inside Zone: The latest rumours and updates from the heart of the game from those closest to it

- Snap! This is our NFL picture of the day. It could be an amazing catch, clutch field goal, funny celebration, classic match action or just something completely different to the norm. Whatever it is, it will brighten your day.
