I think this would probably be covered by unsporting behaviour or dangerous play.
There might be some stuff that would consider the ball out of play in this scenario too as no specific player has possession, but that might be a stretch
As far as I know it’s dangerous play, because you’d be making it impossible for anyone to challenge the ball without things getting dangerous. You’re supposed to defend the ball by using your athleticism to fend off your opponents, not by using medieval battlefield tactics to force a siege.

Games evolve over time. Get with it or get behind.
Detroit add lions to their defense. Denver rushes while mounted. Chicago doubles down on drafting large, hirsute men for their team.
I had to look up that word:
Cool!
Dallas: YEEHAW!!
Bring back the Oilers!
Better idea yet, just carry the ball in your hand, much easier and can be done by one person…
I think some players have already tried this. They named their specific technique “rugby”.
Streamlining the game, I lile it!
Could mean great savings for team owners. Now they only have to pay one player.
We should also give both players cars, more efficient than running.
I’ll call that Auto Polo

Or bumper cars for a good time with friends - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whirlyball
But they don’t allow siege cannons and mortars in stadiums :(
Those damn woke are taking our guns away, it is not even modern football without artillery.
Why are you trying to cross the field with the Ball when you can just use a trebuchet, arguably the best siege weapon?
Yet*
Someone’s gonna do this and make the game evolve by making them add a new rule.
you have exactly 10 seconds to leave the field at the nearest point of exit (the sidelines)
Surround the players with your own and starve them out.
The future is now, old man.
