“The referees can give us a touchdown, I think when they do it again or something,” Dejean replied.
The obscure rule is found in the NFL Rulebook as rule 12, section 3, Article 4.
“Palpifiable unfair action: a player or replacement will not disturb the game by an action that is noticeable unfair. 51 Rule 12 Fine: for a tangible unfair action: perpetrator can be disqualified. The referee, after consultation with the official crew, encloses this This distance fine because they consider fair and regardless of any other specified code bow.
The rule is for obvious unfair situations, and referees consistently felt Luvu jump the gun to stop jalen hurts and the Tush -push was too much because the Eagles did not vomit the ball.
