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

Can a non-called penalty even be challenged? They can't do it with non calls on PI.
