No Nate, that throw at the end of the game didn't count as an incomplete pass.
Nate Sudfeld, the former Modesto Christian High School star football player and now a backup quarterback for the Super Bowl-bound Philadelphia Eagles, came in to take a couple of knees at the end of the Eagles' 38-7 NFC Championship Game victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
He took three knees to run out the clock – officially for negative 4 yards rushing. After the final knee, he turned and tossed the ball into the crowd.
"I wasn’t really thinking," Sudfeld told the Los Angeles Times. "I was kind of just excited. It’s been a crazy year. I think that’s the farthest I’ve thrown it in a game. It was after the clock, so ... Oh, does that count as an incompletion?"
