Summarize your bug Players are not credited with: Carries / Rushing yards / Receptions / Receiving yards / Completions / Passing yards after plays when an offensive foul is committed beyond the line of scrimmage (and the penalty is accepted). See video examples.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Start a play now game 2. Be aware of how many rushes/yards and receptions/yards your players have. 3. Run passing or running plays until an offensive penalty occurs beyond the line of scrimmage (holding / block in the back) 4. Note how many yards were gained/lost on the play without considering the penalty 5. Make sure the penalty is accepted 6. Check the box score to confirm that any stats gained on that play were not counted.
What happens when the bug occurs? On plays with an offensive penalty that occurs beyond the line of scrimmage, rushers don't get credit for carries/rushing yards, receivers don't get credit for receptions/receiving yards, and QBs don't get credit for completions/attempts/passing yards. The game places the ball accurately depending on where the foul is and where the play ends, but does not award any stats on these plays.
What do you expect to see? Carries, rushing yards, receptions, receiving yards, completions, attempts, and passing yards should be credited accurately on these plays.

Example 1 Rushing play:
https://youtu.be/rARvzlDNvBU?t=485
Timestamps walking through the issue:
6:41 R Wilson's 1st rush (total 1 rush 11 yards - see top banner after play)
8:05 Problem play. R Wilson's 2nd rush. Line of scrimmage was the OPP12 yard line and he rushes for 1 yard to OPP11.
8:11 (Right of screen) #16 commits illegal block in the back penalty at the OPP5 yard line during the run.
Since this foul happened past the line of scrimmage, the foul is applied from (1. the end of the run OR 2. the spot of the foul if it occurs before the end of the run. 1 applies here and the game handles this correctly)
8:22 (Pause) Penalty Accept/Decline popup.
In the bottom right, if the penalty was declined, the ball would be placed at the OPP11, to confirm R Wilson rushed for 1 yard on this play. Wilson should now have (2 rush, 12 yards)
The penalty is accepted and the 10 yards are added from the end of the run (at the OPP11), putting the ball at the OPP21. This is all correct so far.
8:30 The next play, Wilson runs again and gains 5 yards. He should now be at (3 rush, 17 yards)
8:40 (Pause) After the run, the top banner shows Wilson having 2 rushes for 16 yards, showing the previous play did not count towards his stats.
This happens about once a game and it's more common on running plays with offensive linemen/fullbacks/receivers running forward past the line of scrimmage to block.
It is possible that this bug happens with passing plays as well (not crediting receptions/receiving yards) but I have not had that scenario come up yet.

EDIT: This also occurs with passing plays
Example 2 Passing Play:
https://youtu.be/6fUJ_ifyrRE?t=3860
Timestamps to validate stat changes:
57:30 1 yard pass to Kelce
57:39 Top banner shows Mahomes (19/21, 218 yards)
57:42 Top banner shows Kelce (5 rec, 64 yards)
<no passing plays in between>
1:04:19 Problem play. Starts at OWN27. Mahomes pass to Kelce for a gain of 16 to OWN43.
1:04:26 #17 Offensive downfield holding penalty called at 50 yard line.
1:04:36 Penalty popup accepted. The 10 yards are enforced from the end of the catch. Mahomes should now be (20/22, 234 yards) and Kelce (6 rec, 80 yards) after adding a catch for 16 yards to both.
1:04:42 Next play start OWN33 end OPP41. Mahomes pass for 26 yards.
1:04:52 Top banner shows Mahomes (20/22, 244 yards) instead of (21/23, 260 yards). The previous play with the penalty was not counted at all and this play's catch for 26 was added to the previous total (19/21, 218 yards) from 57:39
I have no evidence for Kelce's final stats but they were (5 rec, 64 yards) instead of (6 rec, 80 yards). Hopefully the Mahomes passing yards are enough to prove this.
