Answer: - 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The set of integers is the set of the whole numbers. {..., -1, 0, 1, 2, ...}

We want to represent a loss by 6 yards in football.

Because this is a loss, we should use a negative number, then we can use:

-6

This represents the number of yards by which your team losts.

Notice that I did not write the units, this is because:

-6 yards is a measure, furthermore can be "an integer number of yards"

-6 is an integer.
