What is a "sweep"?
A sweep in football is a running play where the ball carrier runs around the outside of the defense, often toward the sideline, to gain yards. The offensive line helps by blocking defenders, allowing the runner to move quickly down the field. The play is designed to avoid the defensive line's strength in the middle and instead use speed to get to the outside. A sweep is typically used when the team wants to move the ball to the edge of the field and create space for the runner to make a big gain.
Example
The running back executed a sweep to the right.
They used a sweep to gain yards on the outside.
The offense scored a touchdown on a perfectly executed sweep.
