Is it possible to have the 11 defenders just lie down and cover the area of the end zone?

If they were all Lopi.

Being a total geek and taking a joke literally:

The area of the end zone is 4800 square feet, so each of the 11 defenders has to cover 436 square feet.  If you're 7 feet tall, that means you need to be roughly 62 feet wide.  Football players are getting bigger every year, but it'll still take them a while before this is a risk.
