Was there a full moon tonight?

But with time expired for the game, unless he was passing from his end zone, can that rightly be considered an attempt to avoid loss of yardage?

Why wouldn't it? I don't split those hairs. If he wasn't concerned with losing yardage, he would've dropped to a knee.

Regardless, we wouldn't have an untimed down since an IFP carries a loss of down, so I considered it unnecessary to drag out the game with a flag and an enforcement.
