It’s called “Prevent Defense”. I think John Madden once said that it prevents the the team that uses it from winning.

The shocker was that it WASN'T a prevent defense on that last play. Gregg Williams called for an all out blitz leaving the receivers one on one. A "prevent" would have had extra DBs and a couple of deep safeties who's job was simply to allow them to catch any pass but keep them from getting to the endzone.

If there was ever a time for the "prevent", that was it.
