Can a player score 2 touchdowns on one play?

JakeT. · Sep 16, 2008

What does it go down in the books as if, say, McNabb tosses it to Lewis, then Lewis pitches it back and McNabb runs it in.

Does it count as a McNabb TD pass and a TD run? Or when the pitch happens does it turn his pass into a 10-yarder or whatever and he only gets credit for what happens next as a run?

Just wondering...

YES HE CAN, Brad Johnson did this a few years back.

FFB counted 2 TD's on the play.

In Johnson's case, it was a pass and a reception, since the ball was swatted back to him.

I guess the same would apply on a lateral.

interesting question

I was just thinking about it during Monday's game and couldn't figure out an answer. For all the rules I feel like I have down to a tee, I didn't know this at all.

Fantasy footballwise Imo it would count as a rushing Td (because a lateral is not considered a pass, more like a handoff) and only once

So does the pass end on the lateral and then become a run?

How would it be two TD's on one play? If he tosses it to Lewis and he crosses the goaline it's a TD. If he tosses it to him and he laterals it back it's a TD for Johnson not Lewis. For example:

This is the play by play when Manning tossed it to Gonzalez who then lateraled to Wayne:

P. Manning passed to A. Gonzalez to the left for 58 yard gain. lateral to R. Wayne for 17 yards

Thats the only scenario I can think of where this would apply.

Wayne was credited with receiving yards, which means Manning would have gotten a passing TD, so I guess you could have a passing and receiving TD by the same player on the same play.

Only way I see it happen is if a player passes the ball forward into the end zone, runs into the endzone to make the catch.

I used to do this all the time when I played one on one football with my brother in the back yard.

But does that count as a TD pass for Manning? What if the lateral went from Gonzo to Manning and Peyton took it in? That's where I'm confused. Does the lateral, at that point, make it a run and end the pass?

Wayne was credited with receiving, not rushing, yardage, so it continued on as a pass.
