McNabb was under center, took the snap made a quick drop and threw a backward pass to Westbrook I think.
The guy Westbrook wanted to throw to wasn't open and so he started to run back towards McNabb who had taken off downfield a bit. Close to being tackled, Westbrook threw a pass to McNabb who caught it and ran a few yards. No flag was thrown at first until Tice went crazy on the sideline threw the red flag getting the officials to discuss the call. Illegal Touching was ruled on McNabb. I think this would be a legal play under FED rules. It's a similar play my team has run for years and it has never been ruled anything but a completed pass.

Only one back is allowed to break the imaginary line of the snapper and he must be in position to receive a hand to hand snap. This is the QB.
In NFHS the QB is a back and therefore eligible to receive a pass. |

It was actually # 83 Mitchell who took the backward pass from McNabb.
However, if Mitchell was in an eligible receivers position at the snap, I think the officials screwed up. Here is the NFL rule on that. A T-formation quarterback is not eligible to receive a forward pass during a play from scrimmage. Exception: T-formation quarterback becomes eligible if pass is previously touched by an eligible receiver. Maybe Mitchell was covered up?

Unless I'm mistaken, you can't have two forward passes on one play in the NFL...
My guess is that the exception refers to a forward pass that gets deflected by an eligible receiver... That is, if the QB throws the ball, ball is deflected by the WR, then the ball can be caught by the QB... But then, I've never seen the NFL rulebook... |

This rule refers to a forward pass being tipped by an eligible receiver. |

Like 2 weeks ago, DPI on 4th and goal. After we reported automatic first down, the Defensive captain, yells at us "hey wait, this isn't the NFL, there's no automatic first downs!" I told him just trust me on this one, and ask his coach about it. It never stops amazing me! |
