Allen tucked the ball and ducked down, at that point even the anouncers said he should have been deemed a ball carrier

Also, correct me if i'm wrong but roughing the passer would typically be hitting him multiple seconds after he no longer has the ball correct?

The stream I watched even the announcers agreed with it, they said it was harsh on defenders, but ultimately if Trevor got hit, and the defender connected with his helmet, 90% of us would be calling for the roughing the passer.

In regards to the second part, not necessarily, roughing the passer can be called even if the hit is on time, if the tackle is low, if they put all their body weight on the QB or if they connect with the helmet.

Super unfair on defenders but it’s the nfl nowadays.
