Only if you get to define the terminology. Not if one defines luck as good or bad things that happen by chance rather than through one's own actions.
So, it really comes down to how one defines the terms. I think some posters would use the term "good fortune" for what you are calling luck, since good fortune means adding a level of control that is not found in the term luck. The pass from Burrow to Chase was fortunate, but I would not say it was lucky, because it wasn't just random chance that they completed the play; they had practiced the play over and over. It involved talent and a level of control, more so than a lucky roll of a dice or flip of a coin or a weird bounce of a prolate-spheroid-shaped football.
At any point, we might as well close this discussion, since you, Fred, and other posters (including myself) define things differently.
