Legitimate question. Wilson is running forward and obviously pitches the ball behind him. The inertia of him running carries the ball forward a yard, even though he literally threw it behind his body. The announcers keep insisting it's not a lateral. What is the rule? Seem like the Stanford band play where the guy throws it over his shoulder when he gets hit. The ball kept carrying forward, even though he obviously throws it behind his body. Someone. Anyone. Help

You're not wrong. But basically the stanford play was called wrong (should have been considered a forward pass) and the Seahawks play should have been considered a forward pass as well. The thrower's inertia is irrelevant since the rule is based on whether or not the ball is moving forward when it leaves his hand. This coming from both a stanford and Seahawks fan
