passing game
Quarterback's aerial attack
A passing game is a football team's offensive strategy built around throwing the ball rather than running it.
Teams with strong quarterbacks and fast receivers typically emphasize the passing game: Their passing game dominated the second half.
The term contrasts with running game or ground game.
