Can someone help me out with NFL rule?

(btw, I completely agree that there is not enough there for a 15 yard facemask.)

but I'm having another conversation with someone who's claiming that there can be no penalty (facemask or otherwise) while a fumble is loose.

I pointed out that in NCAA, you can do certain things--like block in the back or clip--in an effort to recover a loose ball. but you still can't hold, facemask, slug, etc.

problem is, I think some people have the perception that "all bets are off" when someone fumbles in the NFL.

and in fact, that's what some are telling me. but that can't be the case, right? I mean, there's no way that the NFL rules allow a player to kick another player simply because someone fumbled 30 yards downfield.

that simply makes no sense. but since I don't have an NFL rulebook, I can't be 1000% sure. little help here. thanks!
