I dont know but throwing a pass into the ground should qualify as
"throws a forward pass without a realistic chance of completion."
Lets see in between the tackles, pass to no elgible receiver, pass is forward.
Yeah that ruling makes sense.
Why dont teams use it to save a timeout when they have a 2nd and 5 and
cant get the play they want? Yeah it wastes a down but you could still get that back. You cant get a Timeout back. Thats why im kinda curious if it can only be done in the last 5 minutes of a half.
