The moment a qb crosses the LoS, he should be considered a runner. No special treatment. I don't remember if it was called, but Mahommes clearly slowed down and flopped out of bounds.A moment I found humorous was when Lions ran the reverse with Bridgewater in at QB. Teddy actually ran interference for the WR - not quite a block, but got in the way to prevent a possible TFL - and after the WR was well on his way gaining positive yards, another Wash lineman just gave Bridgewater a shove out of principle.
And that has nothing to do with the play I described. The ballcarrier was 10-15 yards upfield while Bridgewater was still behind the LoS. The LoS in this case is simply irrelevant as Bridgewater was simply standing there, having completed his part of the play seconds ago and yet the DL just decided to shove him anyway. There wasn't intent to harm, but I interpreted a definite "how 'bout you run some real plays, backup."The moment a qb crosses the LoS, he should be considered a runner. No special treatment.

Andrews dropped the ball and fumbled another time. Lamar also threw a bad pick and simply dropped the ball on another fumble. Going into that late drive, my view was that when Lamar has to throw, he can't really beat you. Then he did, sort of. That's the one thing he hadn't really done. He's never been a 2 minute comeback with your arm kind of guy. So props to him for proving me wrong.I know Mark Andrews dropped the ball but is Lamar Jackson overrated? Can’t win the big one? The only QBs he’s beaten in the playoffs so far are Ryan Tannehill, rookie CJ Stroud and 36 yr old Russ Wilson.
