The game played September 15, 1940 between the Chicago Cardinals and Detroit Lions. The Lions gained 16 yards and the Cardinals gained 14 yards for a total of 30. Not surprisingly, the game ended in a 0-0 tie.
Forward passes were legal and being thrown by college and professional players before the NFL was formed. But the first known forward pass in a professional football game was probably by George W. (Peggy) Parratt on October 25, 1906. In a game in which Peggy played for the Massillon, Ohio, Tigers, he threw a short pass to Dan Riley Policowski against a team from West Virginia. The Tigers won 61-0 and the forward pass did not play a major role in the outcome.
