This is true for an incomplete illegal forward pass from the endzone because the run is considered as ending at the spot of the IFP. (In NCAA, the offended team can decline the penalty and have the ball returned to the previous spot.)
A completed IFP will have a result of the play, whatever it may be, that can potentially be accepted by the offending team declining the penalty for the IFP.
