Im a bit confused. 1st the 2 late tds were clearly via illegal picks.....right? After the 1st why wasnt the 2nd called?
But more confusing is the PI call there before that last play. They called it "in the endzone" giving them the ball at the 2. But if you watch the replay its clear that penalty happened at the 2, hence the ref throwing the flag in that spot. So why wasnt that ball placed "half the distance"?

It's all about how the off/blocking receiver plays it, as he has an equal right to the space. It's beautiful because it rarely gets called.

on the second one, you are correct, but I would guess that the play was a td play that carried over into the ez.

PI is never subject to the half the distance rule. If the PI occurred inside the 2 and the ball was snapped within the 17 yard line, it goes to the 2 every time.
