Long bomb

Long bomb

Long bomb is a term for a long forward pass in American football.

Hail Mary

A Hail Mary is a form of long bomb, usually using five wide receivers and the quarterback set in shotgun. All five receivers run go routes (sprint to the endzone with little to no change in direction). The quarterback tosses the ball toward the endzone, in hopes of the receiver catching it, though this is highly unlikely since the Hail Mary is usually only ran late in the game when the defense is expecting a long pass. Even though the Hail Mary is a form of the long bomb, the long bomb isn't always a Hail Mary.
