Stopping forward progress, which is when a ball-carrier has stopped moving forward for a certain amount of time usually a couple of seconds , results in a dead ball and stoppage of play.
These tackles are all legal. Illegal tackles are illegal because they often risk putting players in danger. Tackles to the head and shoulder areas are strictly forbidden and rules have been implemented to discourage this from occurring. Tackling a player by pulling on their facemask is also forbidden. Grabbing a player from behind around the neck and shoulder area is also illegal and is called an illegal horse-collar tackle.
Offensive players cannot tackle defensive players unless the defensive player has gained possession of the football. A player cannot lead their tackle with their helmet, or a penalty will be called for a dangerous tackle. A player is down when a part of their body other than the hands or feet touches the ground, like the knee, elbow, hip, or head. There is also much more emphasis on leading with the helmet penalties.
I want to say it was perhaps Denver, maybe Ed McCaffrey. Maybe that will jog someone else's memory and they can better find it! JeopardyTempest Great example. As a Denver fan, I'm not recalling that, but it was so long ago ; I think the Jets had a similar play around ?

In , the final year before the change, NFL kickers made On the other hand, the change did too much. My take at the time: Who wants to see games decided by extra point misses? However, I quickly changed my stance. A mislaid point here or there does, in fact, make football more interesting.
Anything that adds a little bit of variety to the sport makes it more interesting. Now, I feel like Move the extra point back to the yard line! Some miss as many as 10 percent of their extra points.
However, I agree with the overarching premise of making the extra point more difficult. In college, the penalty for defensive pass interference is capped at 15 yards. Up to 15 yards, interference is a spot foul, meaning a defensive pass interference call 8 yards downfield would give the offense the ball 8 yards downfield.
Every other NFL infringement is capped at 15 yards—defensive pass interference is the only true spot foul in the game. Note: This season, for the first time, the NFL is debuting the ability for coaches to challenge pass interference penalties.
The dig on the college rule is that the yard cap on pass interference penalties encourages defenders to intentionally commit interference by flagrantly tackling a receiver before the ball reaches him on plays where a touchdown is likely.
I watch a lot of college football, and there is not an epidemic of intentional pass interference. Even if there was … what would be the big deal?
After all, the defense still has to give up 15 yards. The problem with the NFL rule is that an offense can pick up huge yardage on a single defensive infraction.
Last year, there were 17 DPI penalties that netted an offense 40 yards or more. That seems excessive. In , Aaron Rodgers launched a yard bomb against the Lions , but receiver Trevor Davis fell to the ground before he could catch it.
Detroit cornerback Nevin Lawson was flagged for PI and the ball was advanced 66 yards, widely believed to be the largest penalty in NFL history—and it was a mistake. The NFL phoned the Lions after the game to let them know that the flag on Lawson was thrown in error , but it was too late.
The penalty turned what should have been a third-and at the Green Bay yard line into a first-and-goal from the Detroit 2. The Packers scored a play later, and eventually won Dave and Chris welcome back chef Diep Tran to celebrate the treasured elixir that is Red Boat Fish Sauce before embarking on a whirlwind survey of their all-time favorite potluck play—Vietnamese summer rolls.
