Yeah the rule is only for forward passes. You can lateral to anyone on the field at any time, including offensive linemen, including at the 50 after you’ve already caught a pass.

The bigger shock to me was seeing Morten Andersen on the Chiefs…

I was unaware. Probably because of a college football game I watched long ago. In that game an OG went out into the flat. The QB bounce passed it to him. I remember mistakenly thinking the QB did that on purpose so it would be recorded as a fumble recovery, not a pass. But apparently he could have hit the G in the chest as long as it was backwards.

It’s also sometimes one of those things like the drop kick or the fair catch kick that is easy to forget still exists because nobody has used it regularly for years. In the case of laterals, though, they’re basically what you see on pitch plays, flea flickers, and the hook and ladder play (not to mention the whole deal where a team will just start lateraling the ball at the end of a game in a last ditch effort to score).

Barkley's backwards hurdle featured on 'Madden' cover
Philadelphia Eagles (grrr - how could that happen?) running back Saquon Barkley's iconic hurdle will forever be memorialized on the cover of "Madden NFL 26".
Bear in mind, he was moving backwards (and gaining an extra five yards with the maneuver). Here is the play: https://x.com/NFL/status/1853191441843163479

Plus, he seems to have a reputation for outspokenness and controversy, including with his own teammates. Indeed, somebody has already updated Rodgers' article on Wikipedia with this: "Rodgers courtship and subsequent signing was met with mixed to negative reaction among Steeler fans as well as ex-Steeler Ryan Clark due to his polarizing attitude, with some fans feeling like he doesn't fit Western Pennsylvania's traditional blue collar base."

According to this, Rodgers was third-choice:
Steelers signed Aaron Rodgers after failing on two other QB options, per report

This was also a really, really weak year for quarterbacks so I don't blame them at all for not going after Shedeur Sanders (although maybe they could/should have taken a flier on him around the 4th round - at the same time he was just plain off a lot of teams' boards after the interviews he reportedly gave and if the Steelers were one of them... well, a small talent upgrade over the journeyman-looking guy they drafted in the 6th isn't worth the potential headache). If Rodgers stinks they always have that route available to them next season. Plus, I know a lot of Pittsburgh fans have been complaining that Tomlin is too good (the actual complaint is that they never draft high because he always manages to coach the team up to 9 wins no matter what but this is what it comes down to) and having a complete black hole at QB for a year (if Rodgers gets hurt or turns into a pumpkin) might be the final nail in his coaching coffin...

Steelers prob is they are afraid to be bad. I guess the Rooneys are still paranoid from their pre-70's existence.

I think Rodgers himself strung them along hoping that the Vikings would get in the mix but Minnesota seems content with trotting out JJ McCarthy (Sam Howell is a kind of wild 2nd choice but a. he does have experience at least and b. it's not like Rodgers would have been OK with being the second banana, let alone ceding the job in midseason if McCarthy isn't quite ready to go yet). I think that once Justin Fields left the building it was pretty much Rodgers or Russell Wilson and they'd already given Russell Wilson a go...
