NFL Balt at Pit enforcement on punt.

[verticalStripes]

NFL rules:

Near the end of the game, the Steelers punt and there is holding by K.
The crew enforced the penalty from the end of the kick (fair catch).

Is this correct for the NFL? I know if Fed rules PSK does not apply for fouls commited by K.

Do you really think an NFL crew got the enforcement wrong?

[verticalStripes]

Nope. Just curious on the rule if anyone knows the NFL rule book.

Fouls on K are administered from the end of the kick all the time in the NFL. I see it every week. No, I don't own an NFL Rule Book but obviously this is the correct enforcement.

so where are the fouls by K enforced from?

NCAA is similar. Fouls by team A during the kick can be enforced where the dead ball belongs to team B or at the previous spot. The exception would be kick catch interference.

This should be pregamed every week and not forgotten.

Rule 9 Scrimmage Kicks

Section 5 Spots of Enforcement

Article 1. If there is a foul from the time of the snap until a legal scrimmage kick ends, enforcement is from the previous spot. This includes a foul during a run prior to the legal kick (14-1-13-S.N. 1), and running into or roughing the kicker (12-2-6). If the offensive team commits a foul in its own end zone, it is a safety.

Exception 1: Unless the kick is a missed field-goal attempt, if there is a foul by the kicking team, the receiving team will have the option of taking the penalty at the previous spot and replaying the down, or adding the penalty yardage on to the dead-ball spot.

Note 1: The dead ball spot for kicks that result in a touchback is the 20-yard line

Note 2: If there there is an illegal touch inside the five-yard line, the receiving team also has the option of accepting a touchback.

Odd that you quote the answer to your question right before your question.
