;
If the QB throws a forward pass to a receiver ( catches the ball in front of the QB, not catching the ball behind the QB then running forward ) but the receiver has not passed the line of scrimmage, can the receiver throw the ball down field? Basicaly 2 forward passes in on play.
I know this can`t happen in regular football, but is flag different?
Thanks.

;	there are no limits to the number of forward passes as long as they are completed behind the LOS. you only get 1 pass beyond the LOS.

;	That`s mostly correct. You can throw mutiple forward passes behind the line of scrimmage, but once the ball breaks the plane of the LoS it cannot be passed forward again on that play (even if its pitched back behind the LoS).

;	How many feet have to be in bounds for it to be ruled a catch? One or two.
