The Teen Titans have to save a big football game from an unknown attacker.
- The Bus Came Back: The episode's villain turns out to be King Goal, last seen in the soccer-focused "Kicking a Ball and Pretending to be Hurt".
- Shout-Out: When Robin tries to go undercover as a football player, the other Titans state that his shoulder pads make him look like Bea Arthur in The Golden Girls. It serves as a Brick Joke when Robin, unable to get into the arena while in disguise as a football player, instead claims to security that he's Bea Arthur.
- Soccer-Hating Americans: When Robin says that the "football" he prefers is Soccer, the other Titans are absolutely aghast, and he begrudgingly agrees to enjoy watching the "Big Game" with them just to avoid being ostracized.
- Take That!: Despite their love for it, the Titans do comment on some of the absurdities of Football, such as when Cyborg and Starfire try to stall for time by disguising as referees and handing out penalties for absolutely minor issues without any of the players or audience finding it unusual.
- Title Drop: The villain's reason for trying to destroy American football is because he thinks they spend less time playing than they do "slapping butts and celebrating for no reason", unlike the action of European football.
