Gordon looked like he was between the tackles when he threw it but the ball went outside as part of the reverse. Thankfully (as a Browns fan) Brad Allen didn't throw the grounding flag. I was wondering how grounding applied to a play like that. Once the ball leaves the pocket, it does not exist anymore for the purposes of intentional grounding or illegal contact.

In NCAA, only the player who receives the snap is extended the exception for ING that allows him to legally ground the ball from outside the pocket in an area with no eligible receiver as long as he throws the ball beyond the NZ. The play as described would be foul in NCAA. Not sure if the NFL rule is the same.
