What happened: A trick rushing play called for top-rated offensive guard Joe Thuney during Thursday's regular-season game was wiped out by penalty. Despite the play failing to stand under league rules, the veteran lineman drew praise for his athleticism in space.

Why it matters: Dialing up a backfield touch for an interior offensive lineman reflects how offenses use Thuney's movement skills to put unconventional looks on tape. NFL procedure rules tightly restrict how and when offensive linemen can legally handle the ball on designed runs, leaving little margin for error on gadget calls.

What to watch: Coaches will need to adjust formation alignment and eligibility mechanics before attempting to revisit the package in upcoming regular-season action.
