Title: NFL rule question Post by: raptorsfan29 on December 08, 2009, 05:25:20 pm I didn't know how to put a good title on this. But i was watching the GB/BAL game yesterday, and got me thinking.
There was a play that was challenged, and it was a TD pass. there was also a penalty on the play, 5 yard offside. My question is would the team that denied the penalty be able to accept or decline the penalty again if the team that throw the red flag won the challenge, and the play was reversed.
