	Quarterback sneak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A quarterback sneak is a play in American football in which the quarterback, upon taking the center snap, dives ahead behind the offensive line.
		The advantages of this play are that there are no further ball exchanges beyond the center snap, and that the quarterback receives the ball almost at the line of scrimmage so that it is unlikely that significant yardage could be lost on the play.
		Perhaps the most famous quarterback sneak in football history was executed by Bart Starr of the Green Bay Packers in the famous "Ice Bowl" NFL championship game against the Dallas Cowboys on December 31, 1967.

	Das Book -- Running Plays
		For example, the "10 Sneak" (Quarterback Sneak) can be run from literally any formation (times 12), with or without motion (times 2), or mirrored to either side (times 2).
		In the QB Sneak the Quarterback would take the snap from under Center, possibly signaling to the Center via touch which side of the Center the QB was going to run.
		A much wiser option for the Quarterback would be to turn to the #4 back and yell the audible "Lead!" This would tell the #4 back to lead block through the running lane.

	American football plays - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The idea is that the defenders will be tricked in advancing on the quarterback as though it were a pass play, and this will vacate the area just beyond the line of scrimmage for the runner to take advantage of.
		The quarterback fakes a handoff to the running back and continues running with the ball opposite from the direction the running back was headed.
		The play is often called by a silent signal between quarterback and center (a pinch or a tap in the direction the sneak is headed).
