That's the "water bucket" or Swinging Gate. We have several hs' run that on a weekly basis in our area. Ends are still ends and backs are still backs. The majority of the o-linemen just shift to one extreme side of the field with one lone guy on the other side. The ball can be snapped to the "kicker" as it was last night, or another back who can run or pass option.

The NFL does have some opportunities for ineligible numbers to report in as an eligible position. I did not hear the WH make an announcement that any players have reported although the t.v. broadcast usually doesn't pick that up anyway. I'm not sure that the play last night just didn't shift the line over to the left side
