I know. I was watching the game. I just wondered if any of the experts here knew the actual rule number. I like to see exactly how it's worded.
"I just wondered if any of the experts here knew the actual rule number."

If you don't have anything else to do......read the book:

IMMHO, the rules are hard to find and very subjective (as in this case). In this case, there is NO hope......if YOUR guy is going down, and a defender may have came close, ,,,,,it is a lost cause. Nice play on the Giant's Long Snapper to get down the field so fast.
