When there is an Incomplete pass, the game clock is stopped, the ball returned to the previous line of scrimmage-aka Los- (before the incomplete pass), and the game clock does not resume until the snap of the ball. The play clock, however is not stopped and will resume when the official places the ball on the Los.

The term "completion" normally refers to when the quarterback throws the football down the field, and his intended receiver catches it. You may sometimes hear the announcers refer to this as a "completed pass." If the intended receiver drops it, it's referred to as "incomplete."

The pass was caught by the receiver. If a thrown football is caught anywhere inside the field lines it is called a pass completion
