If the quarterback throws a pass and the defensive lineman bats the ball back to the quarterback can he throw another forward pass if he is still behind the line of scrimmage
@Brett verner,
It says you only get one forward pass.
Quote:Item 1. Forward Movement of Hand
When a player is in control of the ball and is attempting to pass it forward, any intentional forward movement of his hand starts a forward pass.
If, after intentional forward movement of his hand, contact by an opponent materially affects the passer, causing the ball to go backward, it is a forward pass, regardless of where the ball strikes the ground, a player, an official, or anything else.
ARTICLE 2. LEGAL FORWARD PASS
The offensive team may make one forward pass from behind the line during each down. If the ball, whether in player possession or loose, crosses the line of scrimmage, a forward pass is not permissible, regardless of whether the ball returns behind the line of scrimmage before the pass is thrown.
Stumble It!
