    heres how to get it easy. Once u enter a game, press pause and go to the game rules tab, take the offsides rule to 0. Now if at any point in the game you have the opposing offense backed near the endzone, simply take a linebacker offsides and right near the QB and once the play starts, sack him in the endzone. to give the opposing team the ball on the 1, all u have to do is lead ur team down the field to the 1 and keep running out of bounds or make sure u turn it over on downs, then the opposing team will get the ball on the 1 and u can easily use the method above to sack him for a safety.

    First, make sure that you are playing a game with 5 minute quarters on Varsity difficulty. This achievement will not unlock if you are playing shorter quarters/easier difficulty (personal experience). It is also a good idea to use a team like Ohio State (which is rated A-) versus San Jose State (rated D+).

    Prior to the game beginning, adjust the sliders so that "Offsides is turned off".

    When you kick the ball off, the CPU will most likely end up on the 20 yard line (as it seems like 99% of kicks end up being touchbacks). Prior to each of their snaps, take one of the defenders and place them right behind the quarterback, but when moving the defender into place, make sure you do not run into any offensive players (as this would result in an offsides penalty). Each time the ball is snapped, sack/tackle the quarterback immediately.

    By the time it is fourth down, you want it to be around 4th and 20, because the punter will end up standing in the end zone to kick the ball. Once again, take the defender offsides and place him next to the punter.

    VERY IMPORTANT - Do not place the defender between the center and the punter as this game is actually smart enough to know that a football cannot pass through another solid object. If the defender is directly between the center and the punter, the snap will result in a fumble.

    Once the ball is snapped, tackle the punter in the endzone and get your safety. The nice thing about going for this achievement on a punt is that the punter is guaranteed to take a slight bit longer to set up and it is a completely predictable play, making it significantly easier.

    The best strategy for this achievement is to adjust the kickoff slider to 100, that way you can put the Offense back to at least the 20 yd line. After doing so, make sure the offsides slider is all the way down.

    Now Kick off to the other team and if it goes to a touch back then your in good shape. Line up one of your players directly behind the QB and when the play starts it should be an automatic tackle, NOTE: This isnt 100 percent. many a time the game doesn't register that your there and you get pushed out of the way, However, This should work and a 3 and out will occur. Then on 4th down the opposing team should punt the ball, If the punter is in the end zone, just take your defender and line him up off to the front left of the punter, wait until he takes the snap and then tackle him into the endzone. You will score a Safety.

    NOTE: if he fumbles and you recover then it is a TD, which will net you an achievement as well.

    This method will also get you the 4 sacks as a team and 2 sacks with one player. And it can lead to the return fumble for a TD and recover 2 fumbles.
