Rule 12, Section 2, Article 5 of the NFL Rule Book (page 81) states that "no player shall twist, turn, or pull the facemask of an opponent in any direction." The Rule Book describes the penalty as follows: "Penalty: For twisting, turning or pulling the mask: loss of 15 yards. A personal foul.
Grasping the facemask used to be a five yard penalty, but it is now deemed inadvertent. |
