Even if Watt didn't hit the ball or Luck's arm to alter the throw on that grounding call, Luck still had another defender tackling him at his legs, preventing him from stepping into the throw. So either way I don't see how it could be grounding if contact from a defensive player alters a throw. This would mean that anytime a defender hits a QBs arm as its moving forward, knocks the ball out and the ball travels just a few feet and hits the ground, not making it back to the line of scrimmage or in the vicinity of an eligible receiver, then it would be intentional grounding.
