I do think they need to re-evaluate that penalty. Not all facemasks are created equal. There should be an “inadvertent, you got hands on the mask but don’t grab and twist his head off” 5 yarder and a 15 yard, auto first down for egregious cases. Like roughing/running into the kicker. *

Thread:

It was 3rd and 19. Why is the facemask penalty an auto first down? It's a 15 yard penalty* - By pgs September 25, 2026 at 10:53:59 PM

    - Those are tough. Once your fingers get wrapped up in the facemask, it's hard to pull away. * - By BMH75 September 25, 2026 at 10:57:34 PM
