What criteria determine what counts as a passing touchdown in football?
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.
