10 Yard Fight was THE football game until Tecmo Bowl.

Note these games used special controllers. The first three (and clones) used a "SpringStick" aka a "football kicker stick"; an analog joystick that sprung all the way up to control strength of passes and kicks. The later two (and clone) used optical rotary joysticks (to control direction of pass & kick, I guess). So game play might not be as good as original (depending on you CP).
If you want to go old school, check out Atari Football (X's and O's). This actually was a vertical cocktail with two trackballs (4 for the 4player version), and there is no AI; both players have to be manned, and it's best played with trackballs. You'll have to remap player 2 upside down to work on your upright, too. Maybe not right, but maybe worth a look.
If you want to screw with some people, Tehkan World Cup is a good game (but "soccer" to us americans). ;D

Atari Football uses a special controller too - if you aren't careful it will eat your hand. One of only a few games with a carnivorous controller.

All trackballs can bite fingers. Replace the rollers. Worn rollers results in a bigger gap between ball and lip, resulting in more bitten fingers.
AF did use 4.5" TBs, which are bigger and heavier than 3" or 2 1/4", so they can eat more with a stronger bite. Maybe a finger, but I don't know about a whole hand. ;)

Wasn't there some sort of super violent football game akin to Arch Rivals, where you had a team of like Vikings or Zombies? I think that was vertical, but I can't remember the name of it.
