I'm wondering what the previous down thing is. If its 3rd down then the previous down is 2nd.....eh who knows.

Previous down could have been 3rd down and they are then awarded a 1st down.

I got that, but why do you need to know that?

I think it is just a check for ourselves. Being aware of what the last down was may help keep an official's head in the game or help a confused coach who forgot a team got a 1st down.
