Reverse ( American football ) A reverse ( sometimes referred to as an end reverse ) is a relatively common trick play in American football that involves one or more abrupt changes in the lateral flow of a rushing play . Variations . A classic reverse typically begins as a bootleg , sweep or end - around , but before the ball - carrier crosses the line of scrimmage he hands the ball off to a teammate , usually a wide receiver , running in the reverse ( opposite ) direction . Because many of the defensive players will have gravitated in the direction of the original rusher , if the second ball - carrier can outrun the defenders to the other side of the field , he has a very good chance to make a big gain . A variation of this play is a double reverse , in which the second ball - carrier takes the ball all or part way back across the field before he too hands off to a teammate running in the opposite direction . This causes the flow of the play to " reverse " a second time . A double reverse adds another level of surprise to the defense ; however , the play takes more time and space to develop and increases the risk of a big loss or a fumbled handoff . Another variation is the reverse option . On a reverse option , the second ball - carrier runs for a few steps , then ( optionally ) passes the ball downfield to a teammate , similar to a halfback option play . Many teams will also use the threat of a reverse to gain an advantage on simple sweep plays . In such a case , the quarterback might pitch the ball to the running back , who will fake a handoff or lateral to a teammate running in the opposite direction . The distraction is sometimes enough for the running back to gain an edge in getting past the defense . Terminology . Sometimes an end - around , in which the only handoff is from a stationary quarterback to a wide receiver , is imprecisely called a " reverse " . An end - around is not a reverse because the lateral flow of the play does not change direction . However , it has become commonplace for fans , sportswriters , announcers , and even coaches and players to refer to any end - around as a ' reverse ' , and to an end - around reverse as a ' double reverse .
