Since you’re deleting responses now, I’ll respond to myself. That link you provided does not show the flag was for roughing the passer, which is the rule cited above

Nowhere in that link shows he was flagged for roughing the passer (or whether the call was correct), which is the rule you cited here.

It’s a better interpretation than one that completely ignores the premise of the rule, thanks.

The defender is rewarded for preventing the pass. It’s a very reasonable interpretation of a rule that requires the existence of a pass, not merely the concept of one

Yes, before, during, or after a PASS.

Both of those plays were sacks. He was never a “passer”

You almost made it through your first sentence without mentioning the Rangers
