An Illegal Forward Pass Penalty is called when a player throws the ball forward once they are past the line of scrimmage. This can be the quarterback or any other player. This penalty can also be called if two forward passes are thrown on one play, even though they are both behind the line of scrimmage.
Number of Yards
There is a 5 yard penalty from the spot of the foul and the offense loses a down in both the NFL and College Football.
Instead of an 8 yard gain, the Bucs should have been penalized 5 yards from Where Brady threw the second pass which was about 7 yards behind the line. That was 20 yards of field position against the Rams. Between not knowing that rule and the early whistle on the Brady fumble pass this was a fiasco for this crew. And it has nothing to do with race!
