     The other thing about that play is if is the other way it IS reviewable 
I believe.  In other words if it is judged to be a lateral (on a lateral the 
whistle wouldn't blow at that point), the other team recovers and possibly 
advances the ball then I believe you can review it to see if it is indeed a 
lateral or incomplete pass.   Because, then you have the choice to let the 
play stand or return it to the original line of scrimmage and treat it like 
any other incomplete pass.  I don't know if that is correct as far as the 
rule book but I could see where that would be a different scenario.
