You don't see this one too often. 
Pass is eligible to catch his own pass.

Saw it live, starting thinking, then realized I was thinking too much.

Once the pass is touched by B, EVERYONE is eligible to catch the pass.  We had a lineman catch a batted pass and score a TD this year.  Makes for interesting stats when #73 has one catch for a TD.

Couple of years ago, I also saw a correct call made when the passer threw a pass like this, it was deflected back to him, and he threw another pass.  It took the R a few seconds to realize it, but he dropped the flag for IFP.  Can't throw two forward passes on one play, even if the first one didn't cross the LOS.
