The difference is, when you are rushing the ball, you have established possession, whereas with the pass, technically you have yet to establish possession.

Incomplete.

I want to say complete but that is my heart speaking. If the same play was by another team on us then I want them to call it incomplete... ball clearly hits the ground.
