“He’s so good at creating plays off the scrambles. And we only rushed four for the most part. It was going to be an important part of the game that we could get pressure on him with rushing four.” Indeed, indicative of their domination, the Eagles didn’t blitz once on Sunday,...
In its simplest form, the Eagles' game plan was to try to get to Mahomes by rushing just four defensive linemen and not blitzing, dropping enough defenders in coverage to not give him easy openings downfield. ADVERTISEMENT "That was my hope going into the game, and our guys even exceede...
With the Korean conflict ended, Ford Division built 1.2 million cars to edge Chevrolet for the model year (Chevy consoled itself with calendar-year supremacy), but only by dumping cars on dealers in a production "blitz" so they could sell for "less than cost." Ironically, Chevrolet wasn't...
While the Chiefs offense has been the #2 best in the NFL this year at driving the ball into the red zone, their biggest trouble has been scoring when there. Their red zone TD rate is only 53.8%, an all-time low for the Chiefs underAndyReid. I expected the Chiefs would be abl...

He only becomes a threat when the ball moves into his orbit. Modern defences operate by stacking their men close to the ball with narrow gaps between them. Then as they move further away from the ball the gaps open up and they try to cover as much of the pitch as...
(Jacksonville has 12 sacks, tied for 20th in the NFL), but the Jaguars are third in the NFL against the run, averaging 75.3 yards per game, and have forced an NFL-high 15 turnovers. Second-year defensive coordinator Mike Caldwell has been more aggressive this season: He's blitzing a...
Ball Block Blitz is another option if you prefer games with much execution, but I believe Scrap Heap is the clear winner. But here’s the kicker: during the 99-ball toss, you can’t miss a ball and must get a few perfect parries to regain your gauge. If you don’t get an ideal ...
