Sounds similar to a money play from a Madden I played roughly 8-10 years ago.
You'd line up in a 2 TE set, one on each side of the formation, and have them both run seams. Against most coverages, one of them would be wide open. Even if you usered the MLB, they could often throw the ball to the TE's inside or outside shoulder to have a chance to complete the pass.
I had been playing online for a while so I was used to it. I loaded into a match and this douchebag had his mic on. He must have had his friend there with him. First play, he runs the money play. I INT it, of course. He's like "Oh.. this guy's good." (I wasn't)
Anyway, I got on the mic and told him I've seen that play a ton and that he should just try something else. He didn't. Just kept trying to cheese it for another quarter, got nowhere, then rage quit.
