Football 101
Basic Plays
When the offense (the team in control of the ball) tries to come up with clever ways to move the ball downfield, it's called a play. The defense, on the other hand, moves around into different formations to best react to the clever plays of the offense.
Quarterback Sneak - The QB sneak is a play in which the quarterback receives the snap of the ball and immediately runs forward as far as he can until he is tackled. This play is normally used when the offense only needs a few yards in order to pick up a first down or score a touchdown.
