Week 6 Discussion

Pretty sure it counts as a slide so any body part touching the ground is play over regardless of contacts. Someone else will probs chime in with the correct interpretation.

Same thing happened to Wentz last season. He dove for the endzone, and was ruled short because he “gave himself up” by going down.

Which is a terrible rule. How is somebody giving themselves up when they are literally doing the opposite.

It's a dumb rule, but they are trying to eliminate the dangerous situation for QBs who are largely the face of the league. The part I don't get is why the flag for the late hit was picked up if they ruled Rodgers as "giving himself up" by diving.

I also hate how QBs are able to "fake" a slide and continue running. Darnold did it on his 75yard run a few weeks back and Mahommes did it last night. It puts the defense in a no win situation.

Agreed.
