You can pull this off in any game mode provided your opponent is labeled as a Rival (this will be indicated on the team select screen if the two opponents are rivals).
You can cheat with a buddy, or crank up the quarter length to 15 minutes and play on easier difficulty levels to increase your chances against the CPU. I'd suggest trying for this at the same time as the 6 Rush TDs with the Dolphins against the Bills or Jets, or when trying to get the 550 Pass Yards with the Titans Achievement (against Houston, Indianapolis or Jacksonville) to kill two birds with one stone.
If you have not yet won the "Score 40 points in a Rival game" Achievement, you will unlock it at the same time. You must complete the entire game - the Achievement will not unlock when your score passes 60.

I did this twice tonight. First I supersimed to the end & then I quit once I hit 60 points, it didn't unlock either time.

All NFL Teams have rival teams. For example the New England Patriots are rivals with the New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts. Most teams have rivals inside their division. I recommend utilizing one of the above team achievements to be able to score multiple achievements in one game. If you are using Miami than it would be a good idea to face the New York Jets. Use the above techniques discussed in the Atlanta Falcons achievement to score. Remember that the two controller technique permits you to unlock the achievement and that you may increase the quarter length to aid yourself in your quest to 60 total points. For beginners, a touchdown is worth 6 points. The touchdown is usually followed by an extra point which is a kick between the goal posts (similar to rugby), but it is also possible to get a "Two point try" by scoring from two yards out of the end zone. It is also possible to kick a field goal which is when a kicker kicks the ball between the goal posts for three points. Finally, the defense can also score by tackling the opposing team in their own end zone. If you record a "safety" your team will get two points.
