its when the opposite team defense about four of their players try and get to the quarterback. You mostly see that in a 4-3 defense .
When you blitz you bring pressure to the qb so he will end up throwing a bad pass which the other team can intercept or you
sack the quarterback .
Hope this helps a little for you

In sports or in military parlance, a blitz is a fast, highly mobile attack or offensive. The pont is to move in fast and move out.

Drew Bledsoe's worst nightmare.
In short, an attack to pressure the opposing QB into making a mistake(interception, fumble), loss of down, sack.
It is bad
