Fumble OOB in final minute
NFL Rule- If a player pretends to fumble and causes the ball to go forward it is a forward pass. If this is in advance of the scrimmage line, or not from scrimmage, it would be an illegal forward pass. If this happens in the last minute of either half, there would be a loss of 5 yards, officials will run 10 seconds off the game clock and clock will start on the ready for play. This would apply regardless of whether the direction of the ball was forward or backward.
