He knew if he didn't make the tackle it would be a first down run because there was nobody close to the runner. Grabbed the facemask and pulls down the runner behind the LOS. 15 yards and replay the down. That type penalty and defensive PI should be an automatic first down.


And fans of the NFHS rule will say an AFD bails out an offense that managed to end up with a 3rd and 16.
