laterals
Tosses to teammates
Laterals are things positioned at or extending toward the sides.
In football, a lateral is a pass thrown sideways or backward rather than forward: He caught the lateral and ran it in for a touchdown.
In phonetics, laterals are sounds made with air flowing around the sides of the tongue, like the English L.
The word functions as both noun and adjective.
