NFL won 2-1 in 2nd circuit Court  of Appeals.
Chief Justice of 2nd circuit Court of Appeals was the 1 dissent.

Brady has a decent chance to get an en banc appeal. The fact the Chief Justice wrote the dissent gives him a decent an chance to get an en banc appeal. An en banc appeal is when the entire Court of Appeals hears the oral arguments and rules on the case. There are 12 judges in 2nd Circuit Ct. of Appeals Brady needs to get 6 of them to agree to hear it since the Chief Justice ruled as the dissent.

Second, this case could go the US Supreme Court and here is how. Adrian Peterson has a case in the 8th circuit of Appeals right now. If Peterson wins that case there will be a split between the 2nd circuit and 8th circuit. Over 90% of all US Supreme Court cases come from splits between two different circuits. Thus, that Adrian Peterson case decision is HUGE. If the NFL wins that the Supreme Court likely wouldn't take this case and it would  rest on the en banc petition.
