trap play
A trap play, in a football context, is an offensive strategy involving one or several players baiting their opponents into reacting in a specific way that opens up opportunities for other players on the offensive team. Typically, an offensive lineman deliberately allows a defensive player to penetrate the backfield, only to trap and block him from another direction, creating a gap in the defense for the running back to exploit.
