It encompasses various formations, techniques, and player roles that aim to thwart offensive plays. In American football, the defense typically includes positions such as linemen, linebackers, and defensive backs, each with specific responsibilities, such as tackling, intercepting passes, and defending against runs or passes. The goal is to minimize yardage gained by the offense and ideally force turnovers or stops that can give possession back to the defensive team.
