Bobby Wagner leaps over line to block FG, was it legal?

The Minnesota Vikings lined up for a 47-yard field goal with just under six minutes to play on Monday night, attempting to cut the Seattle Seahawks lead to three points.

In a throwback to both his own performance on Sunday Night Football against the Cardinals in 2016, and Kam Chancellor against the Panthers in 2015, Wagner leaped over Minnesota’s line, blocking Dan Bailey’s attempt.

Blocked field goal by Bobby Wagner... Here's the rule:

Running forward and leaping across the LOS in an obvious attempt to block a kick UNLESS the leaping player was in a stationary position on the line of scrimmage when the ball was snapped.
