NFL Rules question

Recommended Posts

Saw a play in the Chefs game last night.

DB for the Texans punched the ball out of Thornton's hands on a bomb into the endzone.

What if a defender tries to punch the ball and misses and hits the dude in the chin, or the helmet?

It's a penalty, 15 yard unsportsmanlike.  Need me to go into further detail what 15 yards means?

The receiver gets a reciprocal punch to the defender, with no time run off the clock.

And the option to do it later at the defender’s house, right in front of his wife and kids.

I like it, a house/wife/kids deferral.  :lol:
