What is a lateral? The official term is a backwards pass. Lateral does not appear in the rule books. Only 1 forward pass completion can be credited to the receiver of the first pass. After that the other players to gain possession of the backwards passes "laterals" should be credited with rushing yards because each such possesion was a running play. JMHO.
