Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from the parts: 'passing' (throwing plays) plus 'game' (the team's style/aspect of play) yields a strategy or set of plays based on passing. This 'X game' sports composition is common and cross-linguistically familiar, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents and basic football vocabulary will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Passing game comes from American football. The passing part is 'throwing' the ball to a teammate and the game part means the team's plan of plays, so the phrase means a 'strategy' of using throws to move the ball forward.
