Illegal Forward Pass Ruling in MIN-GB Game
I do not understand why there was a penalty for illegal forward pass on this play. For those who did not see it, here is what happened:
QB drops back, has ball knocked away by defensive player. Ball rolls into endzone. QB picks up ball and flings it in the direction of a receiver. Pass is incomplete. Referee rules illegal forward pass which obviously results in a safety.
I thought the only possible call that could be made on that play was intentional grounding. I did not see why the pass was illegal. Anyone know?
