Yes. 7.5.4 The captain may choose to free kick or snap anywhere between the inbounds lines on the yard line throught he spot of the spot of interference when a fair catch is awarded. 8.4.1a The field-goal attempt shall be a place kick from a free kick following an awarded fair catch.
Don't see it often. Haven't seen it in over 20 years. |
Keep in mind it doesn't have to necessarily be an awarded fair catch. It can be after a "normal" fair catch as well.

Under NFL rules I don't think the kicking team can gain possession of the kick. I've never seen one attempted. I heard about one at an NFL game and almost saw one attempted during a game this year but the receiving team fouled and the kick wasn't attempted. |
It is also important to note that the free kick lines are always 10 yards apart... possibly even into the end zone.
I might have opened pandora box with that one |

Either way, it seems that in Fed if you want to protect a lead with seconds remaining and your opponent kicking off, you could keep incurring penalties until legal recovery by K of the kickoff was impossible. K could decline the penalties. Hmmm...seems an impasse could be achieved by R's repeatedly committing dead ball fouls that prevent the kickoff. So they'd be ahead forever but the game would never end. Robert |
