FED. 2nd & 10. After first down incomplete pass, the running back comes off the field and another player comes on. The quarterback looks at the player coming on and puts out his hands as if to say "what are you doing?" He then puts motions for the player to go back off the field. Only 11 are on the field for the offense at this point.
That player heads toward the sideline, but never steps OOB, stopping about a foot or two from the sideline. He turns to face the rest of the team and is up on the line, still in bounds. The ball is snapped and he streaks down the sideline. Pass is thrown to him, no one is covering, he catches it and scores on the 68 yard pass play.
Legal? In this game the officials allowed it without even conferring. I'm guessing the HC asked about it ahead of time, but I do not know that.

CANADIAN RULING:
Classic sleeper play. Flag as IS, and let the play go. Had it in a college game 3 years ago. 10 yards from PLS, repeat the down.
