Anyone know what a Flea-Flicker Play or Trick Play is?

Here is a definition of what a Flea-Flicker or Trick Play is all about. 

One team will lead the defensive players on the opposing team to think they are playing a normal running play, this will cause the opposing team to leave their position and go after the running back, this leaves the quarterback to have the space to pass the football off.

One catch, the running back throws the football back to the quarterback, who will then pass the ball to one of his receivers.  All of this leaving the opposing team into thinking a running play is in effect.

Here is an example:

The play is:  The Flea-Flicker or Trick Play:

The players are:  Ted Ginn, Jr.-Wide Receiver (19), Ronnie Brown-Running Back (23), and Chad Pennington-Quarterback (10).

The game is:  Pennington (QB) throws ball to his Running Back, Ronnie Brown, who then leads the Seahawks into thinking he's going to make a run, but instead throws it back to Pennington, who then throws it to his Wide Receiver, Ted Ginn, Jr... who then wins us a TOUCH DOWN!!!!

Thats a Trick play, aren't we sneaky?
