WELCOME TO THE SIDELINE

Make the right call.

Each day starts from a real NFL late-game situation. The source moment is real; your continuation and defensive looks are simulated. Win the drive, or force overtime when a tie is possible.

  1. 01

    Read the field.

    Get 10 yards in four downs to earn a new first down. Reach the end zone for a touchdown.

  2. 02

    Make the call.

    Choose among 16 plays in four categories. Repeating outside breaks invites a sideline trap; inside runs draw a loaded box. RPO reads the front, and play action improves after you establish the run.

  3. 03

    Own the clock.

    Incomplete passes and getting out of bounds stop it. In-bounds plays add 12 seconds of runoff before the next snap (24 in a huddle). A timeout stops the clock; a spike costs a down and five seconds including setup.

  4. 04

    Finish the drive.

    A turnover or the end of the clock ends your attempt. A touchdown completes this simplified drive challenge; an extra point is automatic if needed. When down two, a field goal wins; down three, it forces overtime. Check weather and kick distance.

Before each call, the engine simulates 80 continuations per play option using the same seeded sample bank; field goals use their modeled accuracy directly. Reviews show the estimated chance to win or force overtime; grades favor wins over ties. These are estimates from this game model, not NFL predictions. A good call can still fail.
THE DAILY SIDELINE

Who made the comeback?

One situation. The same starting clock. See how your daily drive stacks up.

Wins rank above overtime, then losses. Within each result: more time left, fewer snaps, then more yards. Equal results share a rank. Top 50 shown; your rank is shown even outside the top 50. One entry per browser per UTC day. Practice is unranked. The server verifies the action sequence; this casual leaderboard does not require an account.

two minute drill game

For the armchair coaches.

two minute drill game is a small, independent two-minute football strategy game inspired by the decisions that make a late-game drive so compelling.

Daily challenges start at an exact, stopped-clock moment from a real NFL game. The score, time, field position, down, distance and remaining timeouts come from nflverse play-by-play data. The same UTC date gives everyone the same starting situation and random sequence. Historical practice offers more real moments; training uses fictional teams.

After the starting snapshot, your drive, defensive looks and coaching grades come from a seeded simulation. They do not reconstruct the real defense or predict NFL results. The original drive is revealed separately after you finish. Weather is neutral in the simulation; historical weather is not modeled. This version focuses on a single offensive drive. It simplifies scoring: a touchdown ends a drive successfully, with an automatic extra point when needed. There are no opponent possessions, penalties, or two-point attempts.

The defense learns from your last five play calls and adjusts its coverage or front. The engine simulates 80 continuations per play option before the result, using a fixed continuation policy; kicks use their modeled accuracy directly. Grades compare estimated wins, with half credit for forcing overtime. Reviews keep these estimates separate from what actually happened. This model has not been calibrated against NFL results.

Independent project. No affiliation with the NFL or any professional team. Daily challenges reset at 00:00 UTC.

KEEPING IT SIMPLE

Your game stays with you.

This game saves your progress, finished-drive record, and sound preference in your browser's local storage. No account is required. The optional daily leaderboard publishes your chosen nickname and verified drive result only when you submit. Cloudflare D1 stores the nickname, result, date, submission time and a hashed random browser identifier. An essential site cookie recognizes your browser to keep one submission per UTC day. Clearing cookies removes that link; existing public results remain on the leaderboard. Do not use personal information in your nickname. There is no advertising. Google Analytics 4 measures page visits and gameplay interactions on the production website, such as starting and finishing a drive. It may use analytics cookies. We do not send your name, email address, or saved game history to Analytics. Advertising personalization and Google signals are disabled.
