Sport:
Football
Definition:
A zone defense in which defenders are given areas on the field to cover, not individual players. The high part of the field away from the line of scrimmage is divided into two zoned areas typically for safeties.
Usage:
David Sims just picked off another pass sitting back in the Cover 2. You’d think Blaine Gabbert would know better.
