The countdown to kickoff is on! Time to try on your rules hat!
Check out this play (straight from the 2014 case book, with a few twists for added "fun").
- What would you do (ruling, down and distance)?
- What rule numbers cover these potential situations?
PLAY:
A's ball, 2nd and 16 on the A-25. B1 sees A1 running a crossing route at the A-36 while A2 is taking the under route at the A-35. As they near each other, B1 takes aim at A1 and: (a) makes contact to A1 above the shoulders with the shoulder pads of B1; (b) makes contact to A1 above the shoulders with the helmet of B1; (c) misses A1 but makes contact with A2 above the shoulders with the shoulder pads of B1; or (d) misses A1 but makes contact with A2 above the shoulders with the helmet of B1. No pass is thrown (A3 runs a draw up the middle).
To make this more interesting, what are the potential rulings if the contact occurred during a passing play?
