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.
