Hopkins pass to watkins

[Silverz1972]

Why didn’t they call the linemen down the field penalty on the Texans?

there was two lineman way pass the line of scrimmage. This was a forward pass and not a pitch back.

It was clearly a pitch back. Watkins was behind Hopkins when he made the pitch. Watkins may have been in front of Hopkins when he caught it, but Hopkins did not throw the pass forward.

It was ruled a forward pass.

The ball very clearly traveled forward in the air. Wasn't really close.

All the linemen were within a yard of the LOS. You can see all five of them very clearly in the broadcast. This is the best image I can find online, but I checked the video all the way through.
