NFL RULES
Running
The running back accepts the hand-off from the quarterback and tries to elude defenders as long
as possible before being tackled. The quarterback also has the option of running with the ball.
Passing
The quarterback has a number of receivers he can pass the ball to. Each receiver has a unique
assignment and the quarterback’s job is to deliver a pass to a spot where only the receiver can
make a catch. If the pass is dropped, it is an incomplete pass and the play is over.
