forward pass
Downfield aerial attempt
In American football, a forward pass is a throw toward the opponent's goal line.
Rules restrict who can throw (typically the quarterback), from where (behind the line of scrimmage), and how many per play (one).
The forward pass distinguishes American football from rugby, where passes must go backward or lateral.
