If the player catching the ball has control of it and then he drops it it is a fumble, if they never caught it but they just touched it it is an incomplete pass
Any ball not clearly a forward pass is a backward pass. The term lateral is not in any rule book Ihave ever read. The term is backward pass. A backward pass can be intercepted or recovered by the defense and they will get possession at the end of the play. A grounded backward pass is played as a fumble and can be recovered and advanced by either team.
its when the ball pops out of a players hand actually.
In 1964, Jim Marshall of the Vikings recovered a fumble 66 yards backwards into his own end zone, resulting in a safety. This was officially called a "-66 yard fumble recovery"
incomplete pass
Yes you can throw a football after a fumble as long as it is fumbled behind the line of scrimmage and it is the only forward pass of the play. Each offensive play is allowed only one forward pass. A ball advanced beyond the line of scrimmage may be passed or fumbled backward behind the line and then legally thrown forward as long as the feet of the passer are behind the line when he throws the ball and it is the first forward pass during that play. .
No, as long as the arm was moving forward when the ball came loose.
If a player is stopped then the whistle is usually blown because his forward progress has been stopped; therefore, the play is dead. You can't fumble the ball once the play is blown dead.
fumble is when you use one hand to do something and not the other
The Fumble happened in 1987.
