“After a fair catch is made, or is awarded as the result of fair-catch interference, the receiving team has the option of putting the ball in play by either:
"a). fair-catch kick (drop kick or placekick without a tee) from the spot of the catch (or the succeeding spot after enforcement of any applicable penalties or rule) (3-10 and 11-4-3), or
"(b). snap from the spot of the catch (or the succeeding spot after enforcement of any applicable penalties), unless a player on the receiving team makes a fair catch of a free kick behind the receiving team's 25-yard line, in which case the ball will be put in play at the receiving team's 25-yard line.”
Just one more example of owners slowly ruining NFL games in the name of protecting their investments. This game will be unrecognizable to longtime fans in a matter of a few years.
