Lateral..
A Forward Pass is passing the football to a teammate in front of you. A Lateral Pass is the player carrying the ball passing the football on side or behind him/her.
When the ball is thrown forward over the line of scrimmage. This is allowed only once per play.
Kick the ball to another player in your team.
Frank Tripucka of the Denver Broncos has the distinction of having thrown the first touchdown pass in the American Football League's history (to Al Carmichael on Sep. 9, 1960 at Boston).
The term for defensive player catching opposing team's pass is an interception.
A lateral is a pass that is thrown sideways to or behind the player that throws the pass. This is the opposite of a 'forward pass' which is a pass thrown downfield, or in front of, the player that throws the pass. American football rules state that only one forward pass can be thrown per play. However, there is no limit as to the number of lateral passes that can be thrown per play.

No! A pass is only legal if it is thrown from behind the line of scrimmage. A pass is illegal if it is thrown from in front of the line of scrimmage.

In American football, a backward pass is a pass thrown backwards instead of forwards.
In football, a passing touchdown is scored when a player throws the ball to a teammate in the opponent's end zone, and the pass is caught legally. The criteria for a passing touchdown include the ball being caught by a player in the end zone, the player having possession of the ball with both feet in bounds, and the pass being thrown from behind the line of scrimmage. If these criteria are met, the team earns points for a passing touchdown.
A forward pass is when a player, behind the line of scrimmage, throws the ball to a teammate such that the ball goes 'downfield' or forward even by inches. A team may attempt one forward pass per play only. Any other means to advance the football is a 'rush' or 'run' play, even if the ball changed hands, or was thrown a long distance in a sideways or backwards fashion.
It just depends if you pitch it to your player and hes in front of the line of scrimige...yes! But if he's behind the line of scrimige... No it's not a pass!
No. A rush refers to a player running with the ball from behind the line of scrimmage without receiving a pass; a reception means catching a pass. A player cannot do both on the same play.
