If there's any justice in Fed football, no option at all.  It shouldn't be
called intentional grounding if no loss of yardage or time was in the
offing, even though A1 may not have realized that at the time.  But it would
be a gyp to team A to have loss of down at the previous spot when A1
could've just kneeled instead of throwing the ball away.  Pick up flag and
administer touchback on general principles!
