You can use various tricks to win a match, but sometimes, all you need is a well-timed lateral pass. Performing one is simple, in theory, but it’s a high-risk, high-reward play. The pass is best used on kickoff and punt returns if your teammates are close enough to you or when you’re heading downfield and are about to run out of stamina as a defender brings you down. 

To perform a lateral pass, ensure you’re running, then press L1 (PlayStation users) or LB (Xbox users). 

If you don’t perform it properly, you will fumble the ball. Lateral passes are a great way to turn the game in your favor, but they can also lead to you handing the ball to the opposing team.
