Madden 20 Lateral | How to perform a lateral pass
Throwing a lateral pass doesn’t come without its risks. Since you’re not throwing the ball forward, a lateral is still considered a live ball. This means that if you throw a bad pass and the ball falls onto the field, it’s a fumble. Additionally, since you’re throwing the pass behind the line of scrimmage, you won’t have many players available to jump on the ball if you fumble, meaning you might turn over the ball and give up a touchdown if a defender is able to scoop it up and run it back to the end zone.
