The football is a weapon in Dead Rising 2, Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, and Dead Rising 2: Case West. It is a ball crafted out of leather that can be thrown for long distances. If Chuck is wearing any piece of the sports fan outfit, he can do a powerful rush attack like a running back would do in American football, which will flatten any zombies in his path. However, each zombie he hits counts as one use of the ball, so the football will "wear out" after ten zombies are hit. Both the Sports and Amusement magazines can be used to increase its durability, with layered effectiveness.
