COWBOY DOLPHIN RAVEN PATRIOT PANTHER TITAN

I couldn’t understand what the Strands theme meant today. First, it made me think about currency due to quarters, but I quickly figured out it was about quarterbacks. However, my knowledge in the ways of American Football is limited, so I was at a loss today.
Still, I accidentally stumbled upon COWBOY in the top right and then found DOLPHIN right next to it. It was after this that I hit a wall and had to use a hint. The first hint highlighted PANTHER for me and the second hint TITAN. Yes, I am that clueless about Football (not Soccer, though).
In the bottom left, I finally found PATRIOT. That led me straight to locating TEAMPLAYERS as the Spangram for the day.
