He was going for it and slipped.

 

[1specter]

Can someone explain why that wouldn't have been an incomplete pass? I mean I'm not complaining lol but just trying to understand

 

[misterchainsaw]

If we get another stop it's Trubisky time. It may be anyway

It went backwards. Thrown at 4 to a player at the 3.

Ha I didn’t know what he was doing either live. But on replay, he just overpursued and then couldn’t get back to it. I initially thought he wasn’t getting it intentionally got done reason

A ball thrown backwards is called a lateral. Laterals are live balls, always. So given that the RB didn't catch it, it's fair game for anyone.

QB threw it from the 4 backwards, where the NE RB touched it at the 3. That is considered a fumble/lateral

The ball was released at the 4 and went backwards to land at the 3. Live ball recovered by the Bills for the TD!

Crawl to that thing like your life depends on it.

2nd half team. Which is just fine.

 

[TheStorm]

Defense is redeeming itself in this game right now

Also counts as a lateral if it doesn't go forward in any way either.
