The number of passing touchdowns a player makes is a recorded statistic in football games. To be counted as a touchdown pass, the ball can be caught within the field of play and advanced by the receiver into the end zone, or caught by a receiver within the boundaries of the end zone. A touchdown pass is a pass thrown from a passer to a receiver that results in a touchdown being scored. A player who catches a forward pass is called a receiver. To qualify as a passing play, the ball must have initially moved forward after leaving the hands of the passer if the ball initially moved laterally or backwards, the play would instead be considered a running play. Passes are typically attempted by the quarterback, but any offensive player can attempt a pass provided they are behind the line of scrimmage. In American football, passing, along with running (also referred to as rushing), is one of the two main methods of advancing the ball down the field.
