Flag for intentional grounding.
Half the distance from the 3, loss of down, 4th and 11-1/2 from the 1-1/2.
LJ blows whistle and questions whether the enforcement spot should be the previous spot since last play was a pass play.
Question. Intentional grounding is a running play for an illegal forward pass, or, should it be a loose ball play making enforcement spot the previous spot?

For forward passes, loose ball plays only include LEGAL forward passes. Illegal forward passes are classified as running plays so the spot of enforcement would be where the run ends.
