There are several errors in the Hail Mary play near the end of the movie, in which the ball is thrown to a wide-open Lucas. First, it was an illegal play. There can be only one forward pass per play, and the ball had already been thrown forward to Lucas to avoid a sack before Lucas threw it back to the quarterback and ran down field to make the catch. Second, Lucas was never in control of the ball after it was thrown to him a second time, meaning the pass was incomplete when Lucas dropped the ball. Instead, the players treated the ball as live, leading Lucas to tackle the opposing player and injure himself. Third, Lucas was playing offensive tackle, making him an ineligible receiver unless the referee was notified, which he was not. Lastly, once Lucas removed his helmet to catch the ball the play with be considered dead due to safety protocols.
