Looking at Rule 2-30-5
"A backwards pass is a pass thrown with its initial direction parallel with or toward the runner's end line."

This is an important rule to know - to put it into English:
It doesn't matter where the pass lands - what matters is the direction it was thrown. So even if the wind blows it forward or momentum takes it forward(and it does happen), it is still a backward pass if its initial direction was backward.
