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
It’s explicitly allowed in the rules. To do it without it being intentional grounding, you have to be under center (not in the shotgun formation), and the QB has to perform the spike immediately after the snap in a continuous movement while the clock is running. Otherwise, it’s intentional grounding.
