Apparently there was this football game from Mattel in 1972 where one player picks offensive plays and another picks a defense.
Either way, I came across an ad for it at random with John Brodie and Carl Eller:

Not only am I a football historian but I am also a board game geek. That game looks awesome! (For its era).

Nice. First and Goal is the most realistic "modern" football game I've seen which I would love to get my hand on.

Played that game a ton when I was 12 ... loved it! We used to keep stats, too.
