the receiver who first catches the ball gets credit for the catch and the number of yards he gains until he pitches the ball. The player whom the ball is pitched to gets credit of the yardage he gains from the moment he gains control of the pitched ball to the moment he gets tackled. He does not get credit for a reception though. All total yardage is counted as receiving yards and no rushing yards are gained by the either player. the QB gets credit for 1 completion and all total yardage gained by both players.
