Just Learned Of A New Rule In High School Football...

[Luigi74]

Interesting... There is there a rule in the NFL that a "Free Kick" can be made as a FG attempt after a fair catch. Something where there is no "rush". Anyone ever see it?

Here is the Rule from NFL. com, listed under "Kick Off":

On a safety kick, the team scored upon puts ball in play by a punt, dropkick, or placekick without tee. No score can be made on a free kick following a safety, even if a series of penalties places team in position. (A field goal can be scored only on a play from scrimmage or a free kick after a fair catch.)

I have seen the "Free Kick" after a fair catch happen a few times, I remember the Cowboys doing it on a Thanksgiving back in the 80's.
