NO-HUDDLE OFFENSE
If the clock is quickly ticking and you’re hurrying down field, hold down the A Button immedi-
ately after a play to get back to the line of scrimmage without consulting the playbook. The
offense runs the previous play. Hold down the B Button immediately after a play to get back to
the line of scrimmage and run a play to stop the clock. After the snap, the QB will immediately
spike the ball.
DEFENSIVE PLAYS
It’s been a sack-free first half, but your training gives you the advantage in the later quarters. To
run the defense, select your plays the same way you select your offensive plays. Once the
offense chooses its play, you must choose your defensive play within 5 seconds or you run the
same play from the previous down.
