What is a "blitz"?
A blitz in football is when the defense sends extra players, usually linebackers or defensive backs, to rush the quarterback and try to stop them from throwing the ball or making a play. The idea behind a blitz is to surprise the offense by bringing more pressure than usual, which can lead to a sack or force the quarterback to make a quick or bad decision. A blitz is risky because it leaves fewer defenders to cover the players who might be receiving passes, but when it works, it can cause big problems for the offense.
Example
The safety came on a blitz and sacked the quarterback.
The blitz confused the offensive line, leading to a big loss of yardage.
The defense called a blitz to put pressure on the quarterback.
