6-2

The 6-2 is the standard short yardage defensive formation. It is often implemented to stop the run.
Basically, the six down linemen are positioned in the gaps between the offensive linemen with the two inside linebackers playing run first, pass second. The cornerbacks and the safety (playing up tight to the line) play pass first, run second, each with deep third responsibilities.
