Bean Bag

[jaybird]

The NFL mechanics for bagging the spot of an interception is used as an enforcement spot in case of a double foul after the COP.
It is know as a Double after and team B then gets possession at the spot of the interception.

I believe this is incorrect.

Rule 14, Section 3

Article 3 If a double foul occurs after a change in possession, the team in possession retains the ball at the spot where the team in possession’s foul occurred so long as that spot is not in advance of the dead ball spot. In that event, ball is spotted at dead ball spot.

(a) If this spot is normally a touchback, the ball is placed on the 20-yard line.
(b) If normally a safety, place the ball on 1-yard line.
(c) This enforcement also applies if one of the fouls is a post-possession foul.
(d) If there is a subsequent change of possession (e.g., fumble recovery) after the double foul, and the foul by the team in possession is in advance of the spot of the fumble, the ball is put in play by the fumbling team at the spot of the fumble.
(e) If the foul by the team in possession is a dead ball foul, the ball is put in play at the dead ball spot.


Now if there's an unsportsmanlike penalty or personal foul on the offense prior to an interception, and the intercepting team loses possession prior to the end of the down, then the penalty is enforced from the spot of the interception.

Rule 8, Section 6

Article 3 Personal Foul or Unsportsmanlike Foul by Offense Prior to Change of Possession.

When the offense commits a personal foul or unsportsmanlike foul prior
to an interception, or the recovery by the defense of a backward pass or fumble, a 15-yard penalty will be enforced from the dead-ball spot.

Exception: If the intercepting or recovering team loses possession after the interception or recovery, enforcement is from the spot where the interception or recovery occurred, and the ball will be retained by the intercepting or recovering team after the enforcement for the personal foul.

Note: When the dead-ball spot is normally a touchback, enforcement is from the 20-yard line.
