What does 'Bookends' describe?

• A. Make a defensive stop, move upfield, then catch the next pass to score
• B. A throw with heavy spin
• C. A foul
• D. A long pass downfield

Answer: (A)

Bookends describe a two-part sequence where your team gets a defensive stop, gains possession, and then moves upfield to score on the next pass. The idea is that the play frames the point with defense at one end of the field and a completed score at the other, like bookends on a shelf. This matches the option describing a defensive stop followed by a score. The other options refer to a throw with spin, a foul, or a long pass, which are different concepts and don’t capture the defensive-to-offensive sequence implied by bookends.
