Depending on where the QB was in the pocket, illegal touching could be better for the offensive team (i.e. 5 yards and loss of down vs spot of pass and loss of down).interestingly, the refs for the Browns Steelers got this right. A RT lined up uncovered. The QB got blitzed and threw the ball touching the RG. The refs initially called intentional grounding but then realized the uncovered RT was near the ball so picked up the grounding call and then called illegal touching.
No matter, but just an interesting quirk on a play that didn't work anyway.
