It was a lot simpler before they made all those exceptions to "offside pass"; now they have to reintroduce particular provisions thru the back door like this. Used to be if what's now the PAP was ahead of PFT (these are new terms to me), that'd be an offside pass, and in this case you'd have a foul by a team before their possession not from scrimmage, followed by an offside pass by that team. (And then a dead ball foul.)
