QUESTION:

Is this a legal foward pass by the Running Back. He was behind the line of scrimmage, but I consider the hand off to the first and only foward pass since th QB handed it off to the RB who was directly in front of him.

My inital call was illegal foward pass, but I was overruld by a league offical.
WHAT'S THE CORRECT CALL?
Under NF rules, even if the exchange was a forward pass, the play would still be legal. You may have any number of forward passes, as long as each one occurs behind the NZ.
