Yes, an action that works on a collection of the resource.

Nope...
map.resources :rushing_offenses, :collection => {:destroyall => :delete}
defines an additional route that works on the collection of
rushing_offenses.
Your action is destroyall, which is called as an HTTP delete method

Yup...
http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Resources.html
you can add additional actions for the collection, and/or additional
actions to operate on individual rushing_offense instances

First segment is the text to render as the link.
Second segment is the 'controller, action' specification. If you're
using the map.resources, then Rails creates handy aliases, like
destroyall_rushing_offenses_path
The old school approach was
<%= link_to 'Destroy All', :controller => 'rushing_offenses', :action =>
'destroyall', :method => :delete %>
Third segment is telling Rails what method you want for the browser
request (can be :get, :put, :post, :delete, or :any)
Follow that link above for more/better info about resource-based
routing.
