Not sure that Bosa can get official credit for that because a penalty was called, accepted and it effectively ended the quarter. Maybe the NFL can change it to a sack in that scenario. But it wasn't just a clean sequence to work with from a stat correction standpoint. Does the NFL wipe away the penalty yards and loss of down from the intentional grounding?
If he's down the penalty is moot. Can't ground the ball if you are down.
Right. I'm not talking about what SHOULD have been called. I'm talking about the NFL's ability to correct the stat given the sequence of events. We will see if they can.
They won't. The only people that even care is maybe Bosa and his fans. I have NEVER seen the NFL correct stats post-game in which they nullify a penalty and its awarded yardage and award a player an officially recorded stat instead.
