Apparently this is legal!
The Ravens have just picked up a fourth down on a QB sneak and are moving with the ball up 20-9 in the fourth quarter. Then, two things happen.
1. Justin Forsett fumbled the ball, and as he tries to regain possession, he's yanked by Pittsburgh's Ryan Shazier while the Steelers hop on the ball.
Not a tactic we see often -- normally, everybody just goes straight to the ball. According to the rules, Shazier is allowed to do this if he's trying to get to the ball. It's not quite clear he was doing that, but the refs didn't call anything. It must not have been very fun for poor Forsett, though.
On the very next play, this pass to Antonio Brown happened.
Brown was actually ruled down at the half-yard line, but the Steelers would score a play later following a false start, but the two-point conversion failed to make the score 20-15.
