NFL Blitz is a downloadable video game by EA Sports featuring the teams of the National Football League.
It was released in North American territories in January 2012 on both PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade.
Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice was selected to be the virtual cover athlete of the game.
Following the liquidation of Midway Games in 2009, EA Sports acquired the NFL Blitz intellectual property.
While the league was supportive of many gameplay elements, they did request that late hits be removed from the game due to their stance on player health and safety.
