The one-platoon system, also known as "iron man football", is a rule-driven substitution pattern in American football whereby the same players are expected to stay on the field for the entire game, playing both offense and defense as required. Players removed for a substitute are lost to their teams for the duration of the half or quarter, depending on the rule variant in use.
