The answer is: " -8 " .
_________________________________________________
-4 * (2 plays) = - 8 plays. The integer would be: " -8 " .

or, "-4 − 4 = -8" . ("Negative four, MINUS four, equals: "negative eight").

-8. This is because the team lost 4 yards during 2 plays so they lost 8 yards. because they lost the 8 yards, they gained -8 yards.
