The season is just a few weeks old, but some unlucky NFL fans have already had their playoff hopes dashed. Perhaps their city can be better represented by the football team's cheerleaders, who are engaged in an ongoing competition on the NFL Network. Two girls from each squad square off in physical challenges, football trivia and, of course, dancing—because there's more to being a professional cheerleader than just looking hot. (Hey, we're as surprised as you are.) What about those poor unfortunate souls who root for a team that is both lousy and doesn't even have cheerleaders? There's always hockey.
