NFL Blitz 2001 is an arcade-style American football video game developed by Midway Games for the Sega Dreamcast, released in 2000. As part of the NFL Blitz series, the game is known for its over-the-top, exaggerated gameplay, allowing for high-scoring games, aggressive tackles, and a simplified ruleset compared to traditional football simulations. Players can choose from real NFL teams and compete in fast-paced, action-packed matches either in single-player mode or multiplayer battles.
