I know he is trying to ask based on what happen in the Pittsburgh-Philadelphia game tonight.

The reality is that deflecting the does not exonerate a passer from that foul. The answer is it could help in making the call or not depending on what was done. In my opinion it was a good call and Ben Rothethsberger (sp?) was just dumping the ball. The ball never crossed the line of scrimmage (which is part of the NFL rule) and the Referee made a decision with some help from his crew.

Peace
