No idea. Classic example of relative motion. Wilson threw backwards but was running forwards so the ball traveled forwards.

Seattle winning puts Minnesota in the NFC's #1 spot, thanks to the fourth tie-breaker.

There we go. Pieces in place. Let the epic meltdown begin. :D

You don't get off that easy. Seattle will be more than willing to hand you guys a heartbreaking loss in your stadium on January 21.

Do you have to be standing still to lateral the ball legally?

No. But you have to throw the ball backwards > x relative to yourself when you are moving forward x relative to the field.

Unless you're a ref in the Pac-12 CCG. Then even if it goes forward apparently it's a lateral. (Or if you're a ref in a certain 1982 game.)

Weird, they should probably change that rule to allow for what we saw, that was an exciting play and seems within the spirit of the rule.

Oh I can just imagine. Blair Walsh kicks a 57 yard field goal as time expires. You'd have to sign a new kicker though--guy wouldn't make it out alive.

edit: oops, beaten to the punch.

And evidently going to appeal. Not sure I agree with appealing, unless they can somehow guarantee that the appeal can get expedited or (ideally) they could time the appeal so if he misses a game it's the next Buffalo game. They can beat Miami or Buffalo without him, and given his injury history, he could benefit from a game off anyway. But it'd be nice to have him for Pittsburgh.

I'm pretty sure the appeal will be heard before the end of the week. I think he just might want to have a say about getting mugged almost every time he goes out on a pass route.
