Need Help Remembering an Old PC Football Game

There was an old PC football game I used to play as a kid. This was late 80's, early 90's I believe. I don't remember if it had an NFL license or not but it did at least have players numbers matching who they were in real life. For instance I remember Neal Anderson being the Bears RB.

Anyways, you basically played as the coach. It was in 2D and I believe the guys that simulated out each play were just X's and O's on the screen. From what I remember the game played vertically. It kept stats and everything.

I can't think of a place that would have more knowledge of these types of games and hoping I could get some help remembering what it was called.

That was a great game!

ESPN used it to run dream season, really cool concept

XOR football was a lot of fun too. It wasn't perfect. I still remember that the screen pass versus the most effective blitz would go the distance.
