I wondered about that as I watched the game live.

How is that possible and not the definition of IG?
Facing loss of yardage, in the tackle box, no eligible player around the ball...

No guesswork involved here.  Look where the right tackle is lined up at the snap.  He is jsut inside some funny looking white stripes that seem to be about a yard apart. Is the QB outside these stripes when he heaves?
