no huddle

Rush the play

No huddle refers to an offensive strategy in American football where the team skips the huddle between plays, instead lining up quickly to run the next play before the defense can substitute or adjust.

The pace catches opponents off-guard and controls tempo: They went no huddle in the two-minute drill.

Extended to any situation requiring rapid action without pausing to regroup.
