    From Wikipedia:

    Unlike a forward pass, if a backward pass hits the ground or an official, play continues and, as with a fumble, a backward pass that has hit the ground may be recovered and advanced by either team.[1] Backward passes can also be intercepted. A lateral may be underhand or overhand as long as the ball is not advanced in the pass.

    You need to contact your local law enforcement agency before it's too late!

    Lol. But i thought the fumble cannot be recovered by the same person who fumbled the ball initially

    Yeah, that is the rule for the team that fumbles the ball.

    he's still in the bargaining stage of grief. like maybe he'll wake up and NFL will take away the TD and save his +7
