Bean Bag
Does anyone know why NFL Officials bean bag an interception?
Under NHFS rules, I was taught that there is no reason to do this. I assume the NFL has different penalty enforcement procedures for certain fouls but I did know the specifics. Any ideas? Last edited by john_faz; Mon Nov 09, 2009 at 11:28am.

Under NFHS and NCAA there is no reason to bag an interception because it is not an enforcement spot. I am pretty sure that it can be an enforcement spot under their rules.
I think that it is a crazy scenario for it to be one but it is one none the less.

Believe the bean bag on an interception in the NFL is simply for statistical purposes. Also, you will see the drive start marker in NFL.

No idea on the NFL reason, but it does remind me of a situation last week in a youth game.
B66 makes an interception. As he begins returing it, I see a beanbag come flying out to the spot of the interception, thrown by the referee. I was a little confused, but a few seconds later, I realized why he did it, and why I should have had a bean bag. In our youth league, players must be below a certain weight to be legal ball carriers. This is represented by a helmet sticker. If he did not have a sticker, we would have come back to the spot where he gained possession. Most of the time, it's obvious the kid is a legal runner, but this was a pretty good sized boy. Fortunately, he was legal.

Under most NCAA mechanics, we do bean bag an interception inside the 5 yard line for the momentum rule. Could this have been what happened in the NFL game referenced?

I found this in the NFL Rulebook under Safety
11-5-1 Exception (c) If a player of the team which intercepts, catches, or recovers the ball commits a foul in the field of play, and the ball becomes dead in the end zone, the basic spot is the spot of the change of possession. That being said, a lot of messed up things would have to happen for a ball to be picked-off at the 50 to become dead in the intercepting team's end zone and have a foul on the same play
