    It would have been a legal play IF the lineman had checked in with the referee as an “eligible” receiver before the play. But evidently he screwed up and report in. It’s not a common play in the NFL, but every team has such a play on hand.

    So that’s kind of a “it needs context” question.

      Yeah exactly. The AI was just wrong and said it’s legal as long as you hand it off behind the line of scrimmage. I actually still have the screenshot he sent. Notice the 2nd bullet point.
