Play 1: 3rd @ 10 at the A-25 yard line. QB A-12 takes the snap and rolls out on a run/toss option play. At the A-27, just as he is being tackled by the facemask by B-91, he tosses throws a backward pass to RB A-22 who then runs to the A-42 where he is tackled and ruled down at the A-42. What are the possible options here with rules references please?
The FMM occurs during A12's run (even if it occurs while the backward pass is in the air). The basic spot is the A-27 (end of A12's run). Since the foul is by team B it is enforced at the basic spot 15 yards via the three and one principle. Team A has two options - Take the result of the play (decline the penalty) - A 1/10 A-42 or accept the penalty - A 1/10 A-42.

Play 2: 3rd @ 10 at the A-25 yard line. QB A-12 takes the snap and rolls out on a run/toss option play. At the A-27, he is grabbed by the facemask by B-91, where the force of the foul spins him around and he gets free and then continues to run to the A-42 where he then is tackled and ruled down at the A-42. What are the possible options here, again with rules references please?
