Can you intercept a lateral in a football game?
No, you can't intercept it, you can only recover it, because lost lateral passes are ruled as fumbles. Yes, if you catch it before it hits the ground.

Only one forward pass is allowed per play where there is no limit to the number of lateral passes per play (a lateral pass being one that travels parallel or backwards to the line of scrimmage).

If the pass to the running back is a forward pass, the running back is not allowed to throw a forward pass to the receiver.

What two ways can you kick a football in the game football?
In American football there are forward passes and backward (or "lateral") passes. A forward pass is a pass with its initial direction toward the opponent's end zone. A lateral is a pass with its initial direction parallel with or toward the passer's own end zone. A forward pass is allowed only once per play, and the pass must originate behind the line of scrimmage (i.e., the spot where the ball was placed prior to the snap). If a forward pass hits the ground without being caught, the play is dead and the ball is returned to the previous spot. Backward passes, however, can be made at any time from anywhere on the field. If a backward pass hits the ground, it is still a live ball and can be recovered by any player from either team. If a backward pass goes out of play, the ball will be spotted on the line where it went out of bounds.
How many passes are allowed football forward and backward?
A backward pass is one that does not go forward. Often, the receiver of a backward pass may then pass the ball forward. Once the ball has been passed forward, it may not be passed forward again during the same play.
What are the rules for lateral passes?
There are no restrictions to a lateral pass. Since a lateral is not considered a forward pass, it cannot be 'incomplete' ... if the ball hits the ground play continues as if the ball was fumbled. If the player that catches the lateral pass is behind the line of scrimmage, they may then attempt a forward pass. While there can be only one forward pass on a play, there may be an unlimited number of lateral passes on a play. Any player on the team may throw a lateral pass and any player on the team may catch a lateral pass.
