This is an old game, but still available to rent and well worth the grab for a totally easy 1000 points. It is possible to grab most of the points while playing one game. But there are also plenty of points (over 500) by not even playing a game!
Now because this site is about easy achievements, when you do have to play a game , make sure you cheat !! That is head into Options, then Gameplay and knock all the CPU skill sliders really low and your User skill sliders really high. Pick an awesome team like the Seahawks or New England Patriots while playing against the worst team. The 49ers or Lions are so bad with the sliders down. Make sure the Quarter lengths are set to max, giving you enough time to pick all the game achievements in one game and that your franchise game is your first off-line game.

Could be tricky for some, but here's how I did it. Choose a defensive lineman and step back a few feet. When the play starts, rush forward and Hitstick an offensive linemans.
