You're the quarterback on a 4th and goal situation. You gotta have this touchdown to win, but that defense is tough, real tough. You call a roll-out pass. Good choice. Uh-oh, here comes that blitzing linebacker. Do you run or pass? Quick, decide! Ah, there, your receiver is free. Hurry, the clock's running out.

ONE PLAYER (for practicing offensive plays).

TWO PLAYERS (in competitive game conditions).
