I completely disagree with all the responses above.
It was specifically stated that they were "playing a backyard style game today, but we were playing by NFL rules." It mentioned the center 'quoted' this apparent rule convincingly enough that KCFan21 either was slow or unforceful with his response of "Bullsh*#."
In the time honored rules of backyard ball, this obviously makes it a legal play, superceding the NFL published rules. This is especially so if either that team was losing badly or they brought the beer.
