NFL Rules Question - Penalty Enforcement

[ajmc]

If I follow your question correctly; under NFHS if there is a "double foul" during a play in which possession changes, and the team in final possession fouled prior to gaining possession, it is a "double foul" and the down is replayed.

If the team in final possession fouled after the COP, they can retain possession, and avoid a "double foul" situation by declining the opponents foul, but will be subject to the enforcement decision the opponent makes for the foul committed against them, or they can choose to enforce the "double foul" (and replay the down).
