Not that it matters, but I didn't realize how close Marshall was to the LOS on this play. It looks like this should have been an illegal forward pass. It would have been hard for the refs to make this call during the play, but did we even review this? Probably would have been overturned.

It looks like this should have been an illegal forward pass.
ARTICLE 2. A forward pass is illegal if: a. It is thrown by a Team A player whose entire body is beyond the neutral zone when he releases the ball.

His entire body would have to be across the line. So not even close. Legal play.
The NCAA Rule is similar:
ARTICLE 2. A forward pass is illegal if: a. It is thrown by a Team A player whose entire body is beyond the neutral zone when he releases the ball.
In both cases, the passer’s entire body must be beyond the line of scrimmage (NFL) or neutral zone (NCAA). Nothing too ground-breaking here tonight, but it did come as a surprise to me that the rule was so liberal.

You do know you have to be completely beyond the line of scrimmage for it to be a penalty?
