Tyrann Mathieu's personal foul on the 2 pt conversion
- When the passer goes outside the pocket area and either continues moving with the ball (without attempting to advance the ball as a runner) or throws while on the run, he loses the protection of the one-step rule provided for in (a) above, and the protection against a low hit provided for in (e) above, but he remains covered by all the other special protections afforded to a passer in the pocket (b, c, d, and f), as well as the regular unnecessary roughness rules applicable to all player positions. If the passer stops behind the line and clearly establishes a passing posture, he will then be covered by all of the special protections for passers.
Thank you for this.
I wasn't sure if the QB was treated like any other player outside the pocket when behind the line of scrimmage since they have other protections, but that clears it up.
I still say he only took one step, though, so the call was doubly wrong. :hihi:
