NFL "Knowing the Rules" Moments

now they're right in the middle of the back bet that makes Reba much better football team easing it down that it's it's a brilliant play by cop by standing out of bounds he took to kickoff out of bounds they'll get the ball at the 40-yard line a brilliant play by Randall Cobb this is a little quirk in the rules watch him he's going to step out of bounds first that puts the ball out of bounds that's a penalty and they'll bring it up to the 40 you know there's something inherently wrong with that rule you know that bit is the rule and give credit in this age we see a lot of people don't know the rules Randall Cobb knew the rule and took advantage I mean left to its own devices that ball probably would have come to rest at the 4-yard but it wasn't going out what he was doing watch time Montgomery see how he deliberately gets out of bounds make sure he's out and then touches the football Doug Flutie will be out there in a very strange formation trying for two or will be a dropkick for him from kick for the extra point and what might be to include his last professional football competition that is one point and it's 25 to 20 by a measly kept count of mine that alone was the price of admission right here for these fans in New England last time a dropkick happened in the NFL we were talking leather helmets and they were taking trains and buses to games it's a part of me that says you could almost take a safety you gonna have to check then would make it a a three-point game is still going to have to tick and then you try to stop them group defensible just the thought that's what they did yeah they did and hit the goalpost that's the same thing so that's exactly what they were thinking and it's a good thought because you're gonna have to kick anyway you're gonna have to get the ball back it's a 3-point game so a field goal will still tie the game in you're 80 you're gaining 20 yards from the spot where you have to kick the ball he must be President runner on this snap the ball to the putter just step out of back that one was just staffed to 12 o'clock as a coach keep it for one you never ever want to see that ball coming out there at 12 o'clock honey Baxter putting it right off the upright this is really I've never seen one live the players don't even know the rules look at look at the Rams out there they have no idea what they can or can't do their coaches are off script it's a free-kick they can't rush right this is completely free so why not right the fans have no clue fans are looking around here going what is this they're kicking off why are they kicking off again it's going to be a 71 yard try on a free kick this is great job by Jim Harbaugh and by Brad Nessler and he can run up on this thing like a kickoff away this can be returned well [Applause] China we see little bit everything Pettis brings it back out to the 10-yard line that it wasn't even down finally the half comes to a close we've seen a little bit of everything haven't we 14 to 3 once again because they had called for a fair catch and made it Mason Crosby can line it up from 69 yards out it close you know he's going into the wind Mason said right before the game this is the way that the wind goes in your face it's got its damage Wow that ended up about 3 yards short but an outstanding effort by Mason Crosby so the free kick from 69 yards out is just that short Gordon is getting around take a safety Alisa plunges simple runs out nobody's trying to tackle no doubt those stuff by the inside [Applause] and takes the safe

• Kickoff out of bounds (x2)
• Drop kick extra point
• Intentional hold in end zone to run out clock (x2, since patched)
• Intentional safety for field position (x2)
• Fair catch kick (x2)
• Ball still live in end zone after punt (since patched)

I never understood how a flag didn't get thrown on the Rams TD vs the Saints on that one. It looks like players are walking on and off the field during the run back. Certainly there were too many men on the field at some point.

I, too, was suggested this today.

I think plays deserves to be included, since if the returner were to fumble or get tackled in the endzone, the ball would still be placed where it was last touched.

The Doug Flutie drop kick didn't give the Patriots a tactical advantage though. It was just a rare play

I like that the Packers are in this knowing the rules. Kind of surprising with how bad the special teams have been.

I wonder how long John Harbaugh knew how to run out the clock on a late punt situation (brilliant, btw) while his brother lost that MSU game by not knowing it (I remember watching live and thinking that a punt was the absolute worst idea).

What is the rule that allows a team to take a “Free Kick” like the long Dawson / Crosby attempts?

In every other situation, isn't the ball dead where the ball is when a player goes OOB or is down by contact? I remember this play, but it's strange why this constitutes a "kicked OOB penalty"
