Rush on the gridiron (5)

I believe the answer is:

blitz

(Other definitions for blitz that I've seen before include "Sustained aerial bombardment" , "Sudden strong attack, from air say" , "Sustained bombing attack" , "Intensive military attack" , "Sudden military attack" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
