What is 2 Minute Drill?

2 Minute Drill is a daily NFL play-calling puzzle. Each day, players are dropped into a real late-game situation — typically a drive from a recent NFL season, with the actual score, clock, timeouts, and the 22 players who were on the field. The goal is to win the game by making the right calls.

How to play 2 Minute Drill

Players choose from Run, Pass, RPO, or Trick plays, then select a specific play from 27 options. On passes, receivers can be assigned routes and targets (in Pro games, routes can be drawn). Timeouts, spikes, kneel-downs, and field goals appear when they matter, and tempo is player-controlled. When the opponent has the ball, players call the defense. Each snap is simulated using a real NFL play drawn from the same kind of situation.

Tips & strategy

  • Every call is graded on win chance. Before showing the result, the game simulates the rest of the game for every available option and compares the player's call against the best one — green for the be
  • A good call that didn't work is still graded as a good call.
  • The day ends with a percentile ranking against simulated NFL play-callers, which weighs both the calls made and the result. A win boosts the same calls by roughly 15–20 points.
  • Players also see their rank among all players that day and which NFL head coach their calls most resemble.
