Pro football players usually go to work on Sunday, but the real work in the NFL happens from Monday through Saturday. That's when a team's coaching staff prepares for that week's opponent. Coaches create game plans that give their teams the best chance to win. They run practices that allow the players to put those plans into motion and they serve as the face of the team before the media and the fans.
