How to use "Offense" in context?
Offense is one of the most important aspects of any game. Without a good offense, teams will not be able to score points and win games. Offense is the ability of a team to score points by moving the ball down the field and getting into or passing the ball to the right spot.
There are a lot of different types of offenses that can be used in any game. A running offense will use the running back to run the ball down the field. A passing offense will use the quarterback to pass the ball down the field. An offense can also use a combination of both types of offenses.
