It was a game called "NFL Strategy"
It had offensive play cards and defensive play cards. I would call the offensive play myself. Since there was no one on the other side I would shuffle the defensive cards and blind draw one.
During the winter I probably played that game 15 hours a week in 7th-8th grade.

This phase for me was around '76-'77.
I couldn't see the attachments, so I looked the game up. Pretty cool concept. It was first released all the way back in 1941 when electric lighting was still relatively new. There was no television and 20% of the homes in America still did not have electric lighting. That toy would have seemed super high tech back then.
