Clarify a rule for me please......

Fournette got absolutely tackled when he was targeted on a screen pass last night. Is that legal/not holding because he's behind the LOS, a receiver not more than 5 yards downfield? The ref clearly saw it/made no call. What's the rule there?

Legal if it's before the ball was thrown.
Looked to me that it was after from the stands in real time, but no flag.

He was tackled long after the ball was thrown way over his head. Just like the other screen passes we tried to run.

the ball was over his head, so they didnt throw the flag.

Happens a lot, even in the NFL. The pass usually has to be right on the money for them to call it. The refs said it was uncatchable

They ruled it uncatchable

K, so y'all are saying no flag because it was ruled uncarchable.
What's the rule in general. When can an RB be legally tackled in that situation? Some have said "before the ball is thrown". That right?
Is the RB's location, relative to the LOS even relevant? Can't believe I don't know this rule, but apparently he CAN be tackled (when targeted as a receiver) depending on something, unless, as someone stated, refs just don't call it/ball essentially has to hit him in the arse on the way to the ground.

Watch the replay. They got the call absolutely correct.

Ball has to cross the line of scrimmage which I think it did. Side men need help from umpire to determine that.

Ball in the air (as is the case here), should have been interference.
Ball not yet in the air, is holding.
