When the QB spikes the ball late in the game or βclocks itβ to stop the clock (usually without timeouts remaining or after a converted first down) how is that not a penalty for intentional grounding?
In: Other
Part of intentional grounding is the QB being under pressure. With an immediate spike, the QB is not under pressure so no grounding.
Thatβs why sometimes you see a QB throwing to an empty space in a clean pocket because the WR ran the wrong route. No pressure = no grounding.
