pinned back
Secured against movement
Pinned back describes something fastened or held in a rearward position.
Hair can be pinned back from the face; ears pinned back suggest an animal's fear or aggression, or a person chastened: He came back with his ears pinned back after that meeting.
In sports, a team pinned back is stuck defending near their own goal, unable to advance.
