Think you can make better game management decisions than an NFL coach? I built CoachSim to put that to the test. Make the call in real NFL situations, then see the numbers behind the decision.

You can now revisit the key game management decisions from Week 7 at If you were Dan Campbell, would you have gone for it?

You can now revisit the defining game management decisions from Week 6 at I've added over 100 situations, Team Mode, improved the design, and introduced Play Last Week.

How CoachSim Works: • You're the head coach in an NFL simulation • Make 4th down, clock & timeout decisions • You have 40 seconds to make each call • See the numbers behind your decision vs. reality 80+ historical situations & counting.
