I may be wrong, but I believe that they usually DO give receiving yards to a player who takes a backward pass after a legal forward pass. Seemed this happened last year, and a receiver had ZERO receptions, but positive yardage. The QB gets credit for passing yards gained on such a play, so I believe they give receiving yardage to the receiver of the backward pass to keep the receiving and passing yardage equal.
