Marcus Mariota did just that yesterday in the Titans' playoff win over the Chiefs. He gets credit for both a passing TD and a receiving TD on this play. He is only the second quarterback in NFL history to get credit for both on the same play (Brad Johnson did it for the Vikings in 1997) and the first to do so in a postseason game.

If that line is accurate, it shouldn't have counted.

It is a forward pass from beyond the line of scrimmage if the passers entire body and the ball are beyond the line of scrimmage when the ball is released, whether the passer is airborne or touching the ground.


Part of his body was still behind the line, therefore he is counted as behind the line.

His entire body needs to be across the line of scrimmage so his foot still being on it makes the play legal

That was a lot less exciting that the title made it seem.
