That is correct for NF.
Now in the NFL, this is what is called a "behind-behind" (foul by the defense behind the LOS, and end of run behind the LOS) so you MUST get at least back to the original LOS. So in the NFL, you can have a 5 yard face mask that ends up being more than 5 yards to get the ball back to the original LOS.
