NFL scoring rule question?

The rules book does not define a lateral. Either a pass is forward or backward. The pass to Woodhead was ruled a forward pass as Woodhead caught the ball ahead of where Brady threw it ( and Brady threw the ball forward anyway).

Any pass that is not forward is, by definition, a backward pass. If a pass is ruled backward, in the NFL it can be recovered but not advanced by either team should it hit the ground (this rule does not apply to NCAA or HS). Any yardage gained would count here as rushing yards.

Here is a clue if a pass is forward or backward: watch the wing official on the side the ball is coming to. Although forward/backward is primarily the referee's (white hat) call, he will defer to wing judgment on the quick swing passes. The wing will give no signal (forward) or punch his arm into the backfield/away from the line of towards the QB for a backward pass. Location behind the LOS has no bearing on rush/pass statisitics in this play.

As others indicated it's supposed to be rushing yards; but I've noticed that the league / stat keepers are very loose on this point. Seems like if the play was designed to be a "backward" pass and the runner catches the ball and gains yardage they show it as a pass which credits the QB for a completion and the yardage gained as QB passing yards. Also, if the player is dropped for a loss they show the loss as negative rushing yards for the runner instead of deducting yards from the QB's passing yards. Maybe there's more to this (like, for example, how far did the backwards pass get thrown toward the sidelines). But it's very loosey-goosey in my opinion.

Its rushing yards when the QB laterals it backwards and passing when he laterals it forward both can still be behind the line of scrimmage. The difference is when he gives it the the RB is he behind the QB or in front, it doesnt matter if they are behind the line of scrimmage.

But to my knowledge lateral pass means throwing it backwards. Making it rushing yards. If he drops that pass its a fumble.

Rushing yards. It's only a pass (and therefore receiving yards will accumulate) if the quarterback throws it forward.

people, you are mixing up coleege and NFL. On an extra point in NFL it can only be blocked and no points but if its a 2 point conversion and its intercepted or a fumble, they can take it back for 2 points. They teem that scored the original tuchdown would kikoff tho

im pretty sure they'd be rushing yards. think of a runningback sweep, the QB gets the snap and tosses it backwards to the running back and its accounted as a rush to the runningback's stats.

Rushing. Unless you throw forawrd, it's not a pass.
