That was after he got up and started running, when he caught the ball and landed on his back, inbounds, he was touched by a defender...that's why that defender wasn't chasing him.
The post I responded to said that if he was out of bounds, he was out of bounds 15 yards down the field. I was pointing out that they got the spot right for where he went out of bounds.
Whether he was touched down or not is a different discussion.
I don’t understand the thought behind it being intentional grounding if the clock is stopped. What possible benefit or competitive advantage are you gaining by wasting one of your downs when you don’t need to do so. Any ideas?
The explanation in the rule book is that it is to prevent a team from using a spike to waste time. The example they give is a stopped clock at 6 seconds. The QB spikes the ball, running a second off the clock so that a field goal attempt will run the clock out.
