gc75 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 It is 4th and 18. Team A is punting. Team B clearly roughs the punter. Is this an automatic first down or should it be 4th and 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running into the kicker is 5 yards and replay the down, unless the LTG has been reached. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Bobref Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Just remember, any foul that starts with “roughing,” is 15 yds. and an automatic 1st down: passer, kicker, holder, snapper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
