Ball remains alive following an interception, so he can run it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 JustRules Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Did you have a situation where the crew ruled touchback? I hear that a couple times each season and the crew doesn't realize they got it wrong. If they did it would be considered an inadvertent whistle and the intercepting team can either take the result of the play at the time of the whistle (touchback in this case) or replay the down. They will likely take the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
