Mahomes TD to Kelce... backwards pass?

[ramz04 21]

I think that mahomes TD pass to Kelce could get changed to a Kelce rushing TD. Looks like a backward pass to me. Say it is a forward pass.. is it still a reception if caught behind the line of scrimmage? Because Kelce was definitely behind the line of scrimmage. See play below

A player can catch a pass behind the line of scrimmage. Not behind the QB.

If he catches it behind the end zone, is it a fair catch?

My division rival won by 1 point and has mahomes. I was reaching, I admit

If he catches it behind the end zone, is it a fair catch?

If he catches in the stands the team gets 12 points.

[TheUsualSuspect 207]

It wasnt a catch.

[ramz04 21]

I dont think its as clear as yall are making it out to be. Looks exactly parallel if anything.

Incomplete pass

[Gepetto 987]

I thought the ball looked like it moved forward slightly.

I could definitely see this one getting changed. Looks like the ball is caught slightly behind where the ball was released when Kelce reaches back for it.

I would be curious how it would've been ruled in real time if nothing else changed except for the fact that Mahomes double underhand pitched it instead of overhand threw it. If it would be ruled a rushing TD because of a classic QB pitch to his "RB" from Mahomes then it should be ruled a rushing TD regardless of overhead throw. I have no skin in this ruling but curious in the outcome. A -4 or -6 from Mahomes would swing a ton of fantasy games that have been clearly won in the opposite direction.

if it changed to a rush, i'd lose a game i currently show as winning by 2 points

[jackjohn 31]

It would bump me up a spot, as the guy ahead of me had Kelce and Mahomes started. He leads me by 1.25 pts. He stands to lose 5 pts. 4 for the td and 1 for the rec. I dont think they will change it, but 1 can hope. Lol

This is how I see it as well. Everyone claiming forward pass are obviously just biased mahomes owners.

[TimmySmith 2,782]

Totally forward, not even close.

[Phil Simms 11 127]

Im starting Mahomes, thats a pass no doubt

Whats the official deadline on stat corrections, Weds?

[tanatastic 2,061]

I lost by .7 to the Kelce owner but it’s not ppr so it won’t move the needle.

[polecatt 403]

It's close but I don't see it getting changed

Ball appears to be thrown from the 4.5 or 5 yard line with Kelce standing at the 4... Doubt they touch this.

[stonewall 647]

Watched it frame by frame, with no dog in this hunt. Ball is released a couple inches inside the 5, and caught about 8-10 inches inside the 5. Forward pass....very slightly.

 

Side note: Tyreek is a horrible blocker. Didn't even try on this play....on a pertinent block.

Stat corrections are usually on Thursday.

dont have either guy, nothing changes in any of my leagues

 

at the very least it looks parallel, therefore its a forward pass
