gc75 Posted September 26, 2021 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

Running into the kicker is 5 yards and replay the down, unless the LTG has been reached. 2 Quote

0 Bobref Posted September 26, 2021 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
