Title: NFL rules question Post by: dolphins4life on February 24, 2019, 01:58:53 am Team A has the ball with ten seconds left in the game. The score is tied. The pass is intercepted and Team B runs the ball back to midfield as the clock expires. However, in tackling Team B's player, Team A grabs the facemask, and is called for a fifteen yard penalty.
Does the game end there, or is the penalty assessed and Team B gets one untimed down from Team A's 35? Title: Re: NFL rules question Post by: Spider-Dan on February 24, 2019, 02:04:34 am Team B gets one untimed down from A's 35.

Title: Re: NFL rules question Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on February 24, 2019, 01:41:07 pm It would B coaches decision to accept the penalty or not. If the penalty is declined the game would enter overtime. In no situation would that be the final play. (Any coach 0€to decline the penalty rather than attempt a FG would likely be fired the next day.)
