There's pretty active communities on other instances too:
You could subscribe to those.
Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

There's the Sports community you can use for NFL discussion if you specifically want it to be on Beehaw.
Otherwise you'd need to create it in another instance that federates with Beehaw.
Ah, I'm still a noob. I can't create a beehaw NFL community?
Nope, only admins can create communities on beehaw, and there's already a sports one. Luckily you can find or create one on another instance!
Can I ask the admins for an NFL specific community?
Probably, but I highly doubt that they'd go for it at this point. I imagine that they'd probably just politely direct you to the extant sports community!
I try and make a concerted effort to post NFL stories on the sports community
