You Be The Ref! Part 1 - The Questions





1) Quarterback A1 pitches the ball forward with his arm and ball clearly beyond the line of scrimmage before the ball is released. A1’s feet are behind the line of scrimmage when the ball is released. Is this forward pass legal or illegal?

2) What's the ruling? During a successful try for point after a touchdown, rusher B7 is flagged for a personal foul/unnecessary roughness (bull rush), and blocker A6 is flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct foul for screaming expletives at the rusher repeatedly during the play.

3) B3, defending against a legal forward pass beyond the neutral zone, has his back to the ball and is waving his arms in the face of A8, but does not make contact. Is this defensive pass interfence?
