Troy Brown's lateral was an illegal forward pass.

BBR:

Great explanation.

"BTW, there's no such thing as a lateral.
A pass is either a backwards pass or a forward pass."

Thank you. I was beginning to think I was the only one who made this definition. "Lateral" is a term used by the media, and every time I hear an announcer use it, I scream at my TV set.
