play in which the quarterback throws the ball at the ground immediately after the snap. Technically an incomplete pass, it stops the clock. Note that a spike is not considered intentional grounding if it is done with the quarterback under center and immediately after the snap; the only "penalty" is that one down is sacrificed.

What Is Intentional Grounding

Because in the spike formation there are 2 running backs next to the QB and they are eligible receivers.
The ball does not have to hit a player to argue that it was an eligible target, it can actually be some feet away from him.

When the ball is spiked it is directly after the snap and the QB isn't under pressure or in danger of being sacked.

Because it's an actual play that they allow them to do; they have to be in a certain formation or it will be called intentional grounding.

Because the QB is not trying to get away from a defender and get away from losing yards...
