Double pass

A double pass is a trick play in American football. It is like a reverse conducted with lateral passes instead of hand-offs. Teams may keep one of the quarterbacks far wide as a receiver and throw a screen pass to him on a double pass play, where he then throws deep downfield or across the field to the scrambling quarterback.
