I believe.

But the ball also may be dead in the last two minutes if its illegally forwarded.

I'll leave it to the football guys
Oh, wow. That is a very good point. I didn't notice that the play-by-play says the penalty was accepted. However, I don't think that's what the referee said on the field. (It was hard to hear.)

I don't know what the rules are in the final two minutes for an illegal forward pass. For a fumble in the last two minutes, if the defense recovers, they can advance it.
