screen passes
Blockers ahead, throw
Screen passes are short forward passes in American football where offensive linemen allow defenders through, then block them from behind as the receiver catches the ball with blockers in front.
The play disguises itself as a developing long pass before revealing the screen: The offense relied on screen passes to slow down the aggressive pass rush.
