Naw. That doesn't get to count.
Why not? He didn't get touched.
Didn't get touched due to a block to the back.
Godamnit, why is Mike Carey still a thing?
Peyton does that all the fucking time instead of taking hits, that ball should be down. Bullshit.
ExactlyIf you are going to protect quarterbacks by allowing themselves to give themselves up and penalizing any contact on them, you can't let them just get up and throw it after.
If a defensive player tackled him at that point, it probably would've been considered unnecessary roughness because it seemed like he gave himself up.
Circumstances really weird though. The slow mo looked like a slide give up. Just nothing seen.you can block in the back within the pocket
