0:09 left in the game (4th quarter) Offense on about the 50 yard line. Quarterback drops back and throws the ball to end zoneand receiver catches the ball in end zone. Clock is now at 0:00.
Flag was thrown on the play for “illegal touch” by receiver who caught the football in the end zone. He stepped out of bounds on his own just inside the 5 yard line.
Officials negated the TD and placed the ball on the offenses 45 yard line. And gave the offense an untimed play.
Shouldn’t the game have been over on the penalty on the offense?
I know the game can’t end on a defensive penalty unless penalty is declined by offense.
