Eagles vs. Seahawks: Why Russell Wilson's Forward Pass Looks Backwards

View descriptionShare
 
During Sunday's NFL game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Philadelphia Eagles, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson makes a pretty nice move. After taking the ball and running with it, he makes a quick pitch off to the side while faking out the defender. Looks pretty cool, but it probably wasn't legal. In the NFL, you can only toss the ball backwards once you cross the line of scrimmage. This should have been a penalty for an illegal forward pass, but it looks like he got away with it.
