Quick Summary
In American football, an offensive huddle is a brief gathering of players away from the line of scrimmage. During this time, players receive instructions for the next play, typically from the quarterback. This allows the team to strategize and communicate plays before the ball is snapped. The term "huddle" itself refers to a close-packed group or a meeting.1
