NFL Rules.. No untimed down ???
Sunday night (9/12). The Cowboys commit a holding penalty on a scoring play on the last timed down of the 4th quarter. The referee declared the game over after signaling the hold on the Cowboys..
On Friday night under NFHS rules would we not have penalized "A" ten yards and replayed the down as an untimed down ? If "B" declined the penalty, the result of the play would be a touchdown and a victory for "A" .... Correct ?????? |

This is the reason we tell newer officials not to watch what happens on Saturday and Sunday and apply it to Friday. This is one of the 300 plus differences between HS and pro football. As a matter of fact under the last two minutes there is a 10 second run off for any offensive penalty (not sure if that applies for a team leading too).
In the HS game this would be an untimed down on the accepted penalty unless it was a LOD component to the foul like IG or illegal forward pass. Peace

I said timing has nothing to do with the play in question. If you would look at the original post you will see the question dealt with a play which happened on the last timed down of the 4th quarter. This is what I was responding to.

The pertinent NFL rule about fouls committed by the offense with the expiration of a period/half is Rule 4, Section 8, Article 2 (b). |
