NFL Bingo

The wife and I are going to a friend's house to watch (American) football tomorrow. I'll be watching the game. She won't. Is there anywhere online where I can find football bingo for non fans?
She doesn't like football, everyone else there does. I'm already taking it as a good sign that she's willing to go and hang out with us doing something she doesn't like.
What I'm looking for is something similar to Wal-Mart Bingo where she doesn't have to understand what's going on in the actual game but where she does have to pay attention to the TV.
But if I can't find something already made I'm willing to make some cards myself, so ideas for things that can go on the card would also be great.

Do you know which game(s) you're going to be watching? That may make a difference.
General stuff you could put on there: Plays you don't see very often (safety, blocked kick/punt, interception or fumble recovery returned for TD, kick/punt returned for TD, etc.)
Depending on you and your wife's sense of humor, there are tons of football related phrases that are obvious double-entendres: X# of men "in the box", lots of talk about gaps/holes being wide open/filled/pounded, etc (I'd think of more, but my brain is kind of mushy right now).
But I'd think player/coach/commentator specific stuff would be the most fun, if we knew who you were going to be watching.

Response by poster: Sorry, I don't know why I didn't think to mention what game it was before. Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons.
For what it's worth I'll be the only Falcons fan in the room.
