Rules

  1. A16 is 30 yards beyond the LOS and in the clear when B55, in (a), is in pursuit and within 10 yards of A16, is “blind sided” by a legal block by A76, or (b), is more than 20 yards behind the play, and is not actively pursuing A16, and is “blind sided” by a legal block by A76.

  2. A, 2/5 at B’s 20 YL. A24 is at B’s 5 YL when B27 charges from behind and knocks the ball from A24’s hands. The ball rolls into the pylon.

  3. A, 3/7 at B’s 40 YL. A7 throws a legal FP that is intercepted by B18 at B’s 6 YL. B18’s momentum carries him to B’s 2 YL where he is hit by A87. B18 fumbles the football as a result of the contact and the ball bounces once inbounds and then strikes a pylon.

  4. A’s FG is successful during the last play of the first quarter. B66 fouls by running into the kicker. A accepts the result of the play with enforcement of the penalty at the SS. Is the quarter extended for an untimed down?

  5. A is at the LOS with the QB under center when B35 calls out “Go” or “Hike”. Are these legal defensive signals?

  6. K, 4/11 at K’s 49 YL. K11’s punt lands at R’s 4 YL and bounces into the air. No R player is in the area to catch the kick. K 17 has sprinted downfield and turns and bats the football toward his own GL from R’s 2 YL. R9 recovers the ball on R’s 6 YL and attempts to return the kick, but retreats into his EZ where he is tackled.

  7. A, 3/10 at A’s 30 YL. Eligible A88 goes OOB voluntarily at A’s 40 YL and returns inbounds at midfield. While a legal FP is in flight, B13 interferes with A 88. A10’s pass is incomplete.
