Well, you almost never get this situation, and it usually resolves itself. The only exception is when a guy comes off the bench to tackle a guy who is in the process of running free to the endzone. Then you really have no choice but to call palpably unfair act and then the penalty depends on the judgement of the refs of if an onfield player would have caught him and at least in the Rice vs. Alabama Cotton Bowl that it got used in the answer seems to have been, yes, he would have scored.
@@timothystamm3200 In that case I'd do the following: - Award the team on offense the touchdown AND a free 2-pt conversion, even if the runner would have been caught by the defense - Disqualify the player making the illegal tackle - Penalize the defense 15 yards on the upcoming kickoff

I don't blame the commanders one tiny bit. It's actually pretty smart because if it doesn't work who cares, but if you get it right you stop a huge play.
That’s why the refs threatened to award points. They couldn’t penalize the commanders by moving the ball because it was already on the one, and it would be unfair for them to just have as many free tries at timing the snap as they want.
@@adroitartist3570 They knew they were going to lose anyways, so it didn't make a difference. Honestly, I wish they would have kept going just to spite the refs and the league in general.
Nah this is just what happens when you face the better team. Commanders thought they were great after Goff threw 4 picks but Hurts isn’t Goff and the Eagles defense isn’t nonexistent like the Lions D was. Commanders thought they had a chance but they didn’t know they had no chance till today
Troy Polamalu did this successfully at least once to Joe Flacco in a Steelers vs. Ravens game. He dove over the line and sacked Flacco because the Ravens actually snapped the ball. He did it against the Titans once too.
So…….it’s something that rarely works, and much more likely results in flag after flag for your team. I wouldn’t call that a wise play call. It looks cool, but is a bit of a desperate, not likely to work, play call.
Actually gave two warnings, first a reminder that if the player kept jumping over early it would be an unsportsmanship penalty and the when a second player went into the neutral zone that they could award a score! Ref wanted everyone aware of the consequences!
I can think of one, and do you know what happened then, I'll remind you, Mahomes threw a tantrum, said the Refs shouldn't call it on such a big play, in such a big game, yet he never had a problem with it outside of that play, the play of course being the one vs the Bills last year in the regular season, with Kadrius Tony offsides. Man I hate the Chiefs, can't believe I'm saying this, but Fly Eagles Fly. Edit: I thought of another one, but that was Mahomes first year as a starter, and it was against Brady, so it makes sense.
There was a Secret Base video about this; "The Steelers nearly gifted the Chargers free points for the win" The day this actually happens will be chaos and anarchy lmaooo
Rugby player here. I see so much of my game in gridiron I'd say it's in your DNA. We have the *penalty try,* but we use it occasionally. The ref awards it if he believes a try was prevented by the defending team's misconduct. And, btw, to make it something a defence really wants to avoid, it is made slightly better than a normal try / touchdown! Depending on the competition, you either get your conversion free (so, 7 points straight onto the board), or the conversion is made easier by kicking from directly in front of the posts rather than in front of where the scoring play ended. Plus an offending player *must* be temporarily suspended or sent off, so the defence now play one man down. It all reduces the temptation to cheat.
It's not only the palpably unfair act rule but also... Under the Unsportsmanlike Conduct section of the rule book, it is stated that, "The defense shall not commit successive or repeated fouls to prevent a score." If they do, then "the score involved is awarded to the offensive team."
This happened between the Steelers and Chargers in 2018. The Chargers came back from a two score deficit at half to kick a game winning field goal. The Steelers jumped offsides three plays in a row to block the kick, but the 3rd one made it.
oh hey, i didn't know the NFL had this rule, but considering Rugby has the Penalty Try, i guess i should have assumed that American Football would have a Penalty Touchdown.
That would be an excellent deterrent for such acts, ngl. Warn them after the 2nd or 3rd consecutive penalty, so that the next one awards an automatic score for the offense, with a free 2-pt conversion added in as a bonus.
@cameraredeye3115 that's how it works in Rugby, if the defense gives up like 3 or 4 consecutive fouls (or one intentional foul fir the purpose of preventing a Try) when near the In-Goal area. The Referee awards a Penalty Try between the sticks. It used to be you would get just the 5 points for the Try then an easy 2 point conversion kick. But now scoring a Try between the sticks gets in automatic 7 points with no conversion kick. So Penalty Trys hurt even more now.
Junior High School, on my football team, we had a kid that timed the ball hike perfectly and jumped over the line to sack the quarterback. It was a thing of beauty.
When is someone going to talk about the fact that when the Eagles run the Tush Push, the center lines up with his head out beyond the ball, and often moves before he starts moving the ball backwards? The center is into the defensive lineman's legs before he can legally react, and Philly has half a yard automatically. Yes, the center is allowed to line up in the neutral zone - he has to be able to do that, because he has his hands on the ball. But what Philly does is not what that rule intended. I know what Philly fans will say, but everyone else can look at around the :48 mark of this video. The center's head is out beyond the ball by a good margin. His helmet would be touching the defender's helmet if they were lined up directly across from each other. The defender isn't line up in the neutral zone - it's the center that is actually out beyond the ball. And you can see in other videos that by the time Hurts gets the ball in his hands, the center is already well across the line of scrimmage. If you never played football, you might not understand that this is a HUGE advantage on these plays. The league knows. It's going to take fans screaming to make the league stop it.
You're probably right, and they should probably get a flag once in a while to get them to pay closer attention to it. I would not say "by a good margin", though. It's just barely over. But barely over is over, and they should get a flag when they're over. But I don't think we should ever expect a team to consider the intent of a rule rather than the rule as written.
@@finaoo1167 LOL. I knew someone was going to call that out. The point is that it's enough of a margin that it's undeniable that his head is beyond the ball. It's not just camera angle. If the defender lined up directly across, their helmets would be touching even though the defender isn't in the neutral zone. When you can get a camera angle to show it, there are also plays where you can clearly see that by the time the ball is barely on Hurts' fingers, the center's thighs are actually leaning forward. As in, beyond vertical. It's not an easy move to pull off, so I guess give him some credit.
@jacktem1 I'm pretty sure it's still in there! I just haven't done it in a while since I'm not immature enough to get 40 offsides in a row anymore lol But they probably don't give it the pomp and circumstance it deserves, just awards a td and go to the extra point
@@colmecolwag wouldn’t be surprised if doing it somehow gives you like 3.7 points because the game is so broken, ever since 2k lost the rights and it was exclusive to ea they stopped trying
I have never wheezed so hard in my life. The only thing that made me laugh harder than these plays was Carter finally having enough and slapping the lineman back a few plays later.
The thing is, they werent "intentionally" doing anything illegal. there werent trying to draw a flag, it was just the nature of the situation and being unsuccessful, but i have never heard of that rule, so that was kinda crazy. Also, not a bad strategy when you consider if you get a false start, they would lose 5 yards and then even going offside again, would only be 1/2 the distance for the eagles.
Did it work for the Commanders? Or did it just do what it does most of the time, which is to say, such a play often causes more penalties for the defense rather than the offense. It’s a risky play actually, that sometimes pays off, but most of the time it doesn’t pay off and instead further penalizes your team.
It's based on the Rugby scrum. You need to counter scrum and engage faster than they engage. Or just be bigger while pushing against them in scrum formation. Essentially the moment you know it's coming put your biggest line men on the field have them line up shoulder to shoulder with their heads facing the weak shoulder of each of the offensive line men and bear crawl forward into the O-line's shoulders as hard and fast as possible.
As the previous replier said, at some point, your team has to just get good at doing it themselves, or get a D-line that can stop it with their mass. They've already made it significantly harder to do over the last season. People upset about the Brotherly Shove at this point are lashing out because their team failed in the off season to bulk up their D-line.
@@timothystamm3200 this is impossible when one team is allowed to line up in the neutral zone and the other isnt. its the entire reason the neutral zone exists actually.
Normally the "unfair act" would either be something like a player coming off the bench to make a tackle, or using repeated fouls to run time off the clock. There were still almost 14 minutes left in the game, and the Commanders didn't gain any advantage from moving the Chiefs closer to the goal and repeating first down. And you have to understand that IF the Commanders timed the jump perfectly and knocked the ball loose before Hurts got a good handle on it, that would have been a perfectly legal play. We have all seen teams get called for offsides two plays in a row with no warning. We've all seen players leap over the line (on both defense and offense), and as long as there is no "leverage" it's legal. The Commanders were attempting a legal play, and weren't trying to use repeated penalties to run off clock. So why did the refs give the warning this time? Because it made for bad TV. It slowed the game down. The rule is intentionally vague, so the refs had every right to pull it out of the closet. But it's sort of hard to call something an "unfair act" when no advantage was gained.
My Dad has watched football for more than 50 years, and he has never seen or heard anything like this, even how the Refs would give a score to a team. We were laughing up a storm with what just happened.
The rule itself is pretty vague and discretionary. It's meant to be an ultimate corrective measure but the game has been around for so long that the rules and norms are pretty ironed out.
@@maxwalton411 Yeah, and for good reason. The refs know that directly giving points to a team, even if it's the right call, is going to be *incredibly* controversial. You don't do that unless something flat out forces you to, and you warn the teams if possible.
I’d assume the 4th penalty would’ve been an unsportsmanlike like call and an ejection (if it was luvu) and a 5th would’ve been the awarded points, then on to the next possession
My older brother said "At what point do they just call it a touchdown?" I thought he was just ignorant of the NFL rules and "half the distance to the goal" Then the refs pulled this out the very next sentence. I ate my words.
The Patriots were infamous with that moves when Brady was QB. Hard count to drag the defensive line off side to get a fresh set of downs. I think it’s smart.
I have been watching the NFL since the mid 1960s & I never ever seen POINTS awarded to the opposite team . 1st time I ever saw it mentioned by Reffs,but it makes perfect sense. You see how quickly the BS stopped.
How embarrassing, to be in one of the highest positions in football and pull a stunt like that. I’ve been a Steelers fan since the Chuck Noll days and think they should have fired him for that. He didn’t deserve to be a head coach after that crap (then lied…he didn’t realize he was on the field??..whatever).
I do appreciate that it's a rule. Maybe the one time it would have been reasonable in a game I know of at any level, if the team hadn't scored anyway, is the Band on the Field play. But fortunately we got a dunked-on tuba player instead
Apparently it happened in a college game once, when a player who was on the sidelines (not part of the down at all, he was on the bench) came onto the field and tacked someone who was clearly going to score. I know someone else here cited the game.
Theoretically, if it was in the final minute and the team with the ball was behind by more than a FG, the defense could just keep jumping offsides until the clock runs out, and then they would only have to stop the offense on one play.
The first time I head the term was a few Super bowls ago, when Joe Flacco said he would come off the bench to tackle a free running opponent if time was closing and his TD would grab the win away. He didn't do that, but Baltimore did commit a flagrant holding penalty, where every defender grabbed an opponent's arm and slung him down to make the clock run out when all else needed would be one play from the offense's end zone. I did know about Tommy Lewis and his off-the-bench tackle in the Cotton Bowl of '54, but I just didn't itvwas called a PUFA.
@ That was sort of my point. But the rest of it was that this was an unusual place to use it. (It was just a warning, but they have to give a warning before they can call the penalty.) With almost the whole 4th quarter to go, and the penalties occurring on 1st down? Washington didn't gain any advantage. It just slowed the game down and made for bad TV.
If the offense commits a penalty in their endzone it is a safety, not half the distance to the goal line. I agree that the rules favor the offense, but this is the one time both sides get a rule (instead of just pushing offense) that punishes cheating by giving the other team points.
This penalty has a major effect (a free touchdown), but it’s not the rarest. 20+ years ago Tim Brown, playing for the Raiders, was called for “loitering”. I have no idea how that’s defined on a football field but I’ve never heard it called since.
Back then, they had madatory smoke breaks. You needed to be on the sideline though, if you lit one up on the field of play it resulted in a loitering penalty.
This is the only time I've ever heard of rule, so it definitely takes the cake. But as an Iowa football fan, there's been 2 times I can remember about 20 years apart where our defense was penalized for "Disconcerting signals". Essentially, they flagged the defense for calling an audible too loudly. I've been watching football games for over 30 years and have never heard that penalty called on any other occasion.
In all my life, I've only ever seen "disconcertion" called in basketball in one game -- the ending of a middle school girls game. Ref called it TWICE when the defensive team yelled "box out!!!" too loudly during potentially game-winning free throws. 13yo got 3 chances to seal the game! I thought there would be blood in the stands, but I suppose it's a teachable moment.
@mikesmith2057 Ha! I was at a game once where the coach yelled stuff while the opposing player was shooting free throws. Ref didn't call anything but the other coach had some words in the handshake line
Been watching NFl since the late 70s. Had no idea this was a rule. However, I’m a little tired of seeing defensive penalties in goal line situations equate to fractions of yards and offensive penalty on the very next play backs you up the full distance. They need to develop some type of offsetting arrangement for this. The opposite should also be done when the offense is backed up to their own goal line. If the offers holds on the 5 and gets backed up to their own 2-1/2, then defense shouldn’t give up a full 10 yards and automatic first down because a receiver gets held on the next play.
🤦♂Its not unfair. No one want to watch dudes jump off sides for an hour trying to stop a team from moving less than an inch. Whats unfair is what Washington was doing, simply delaying the inevitable by cheating.
Shawn Hochuli. One half of the father and son Dancing Hochulis act. Always getting their faces on the screen for as long as they can. The "good" cops. ACK !
College football also has that rule. It was once used back in the 1950s when a ball carrier was running to the end zone and he was going to score when an opposing player came off the bench and tackled him
Refs can extend the game with an untimed down if the clock runs out and there's a defensive penalty. Happened a few times, notably Miracle in Motown at the end of the game. It's also happened some in end of first half like Cameron Dicker's free-kick with a kicking team penalty.
The officials making judgement calls for rulings under the terms of a "Palpably Unfair Act" has happened a few times in the past, but not in the case of jumping offsides. The term "Palpably Unfair Act" refers to when a team essentially tries to find a loophole, and the officials catch onto it, and the rule states that the officials can judge said situation any way they want to if they feel it is able to discourage the loophole from occuring. Said calls can be made even outside of the already set NFL Rulebook. It's essentially the NFL's way of preventing AirBuds, so that someone can't just look at the rulebook and say "There's nothing in there that says you can't do that."
So if someone does a blatant pass interference to prevent a touchdown... Shouldn't that be considered too and be awarded a score if it happens in the endzone?
No. You don’t understand the concept at play here. The point of this is to prevent a team from making scoring impossible. The commanders could literally jump offsides every single play and waste hours (in theory) never letting the eagles even snap it to score. This also discourages teams committing penalties in theory hope of saving a touchdown. There’s good reason for this rule and it makes sense.
@@goofygoober7617 Couldn't that be also true if the defense just tackles the receivers coming off the line of scrimage? Or even when they are about to catch the ball, just wrestle them down. That can do the same thing as an offsides. Any penalty that is done on purpose to this degree should be enforced the same way regardless of what it is. That would be even for both sides.
@@goofygoober7617wouldn’t the eagles rather the commanders keep committing penalties so they could run more game clock? Awarding a score there screws over both teams
At some point, there’s nothing else you can do when you’re at the half yard line and they keep committing the same penalty. It’s like karate kid three when he would gain a point and then lose one over and over again so the score stays zero but he doesn’t get disqualified
I actually agree with the refs here. The Commanders are blatantly wasting everybody's time by repeating the exact same penalty knowing damn well the Eagles are too close for the "half the distance to the goal" award to actually move the ball. Stop wasting everyone's time and just suck up the easy TD you allowed to happen.
How is your argument any different than "You have failed twice, therefore you must freely give your opponents points "? Seriously, am I missing something or am I taking crazy pills
@jeffvermeire5318 You are wasting everyone's time repeating the same redundant play with the same result over and over and over again because you can't accept your defense is a hair's breath from failing. They're delaying the game in its most literal form.
The announcers cited the wrong rule. There’s a rule that allows refs to award a score if ANY penalty is committed in succession to prevent a score. There’s another rule that allows them to award a score if a team has been denied one by a palpably unfair act.
You are absolutely correct. Palpably unfair acts are Rule 12, Section 3, Article 4, "Palpably Unfair Acts", while this was in fact Rule 12, Section 3, Article 2, "Fouls to Prevent a Score": "The defense shall not commit successive or repeated fouls to prevent a score. Penalty: For successive or repeated fouls to prevent a score: If the violation is repeated after a warning, the score involved is awarded to the offensive team."
Richard Sherman is the patron saint of the unfair act. He left early on a field goal and got a piece of the ball just before he took out the kicker. The team got the penalty, but had no healthy kicker left.
If the Tush push needs to go, than free running QBs need to go as well. The QB should not be allowed to cross the line with the ball in hand unless he has been touched by an opposing player.
I dont understand why people are so mad with this they were in the one and only a few inches from the end zone so if they just kept moving the eagles up they would be snapping the ball in the endzone
This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard out of the NFL, and that bar is pretty damned low at this point. Why not penalize the offense for doing a hard count at the frigging goal line? How fair is that? You're literally trying to draw a penalty until the ball is so close to the goal line that it's automatically a score. That's pure bullshit. Not to mention, this is calling for someone to try and read the mind of the player or players to assess whether they are intentionally doing something unfair. Attempting to anticipate a snap count is what the defense is always doing to try an maximize the effectiveness of their rush. And while we're on the subject of the offensive and defensive line behaviors being fair or unfair, when are the officials going to stop allowing KC's offensive line to start moving before the ball is snapped? They do it EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
IOW, the refs were threatening to go with their nuclear option. In this case I don't think it would so much be a "palpably unfair act" as it would be a "palpably travesty act".
Been watching since 1963, Green Bay, never heard of this. Saw the Ice Bowl on my dad's black and white tv. We only had one channel in Wisconsin until 1969 when we moved outside Chicago. Then we had about 10 channels with UHF. CBS, NBC, ABC, WFLD, WGN, WLS, etc., from Chicago and several from South Bend, IN. Like WNDU(Notre Dame University). We got the ALF coverage on NBC.

Yep. I remember watching that game. Sunday night football. Week 13, 2018 season.
Reminded me of the NFL Blitz days
Lmao hurdle the O line and suplex the quarterback. As it should be.
Yeah, I miss NFL Blitz and NBA street. They were more fun than 2k and madden.
Rugby player here. I see so much of my game in gridiron I'd say it's in your DNA.
We have the *penalty try,* but we use it occasionally.
The ref awards it if he believes a try was prevented by the defending team's misconduct.
And, btw, to make it something a defence really wants to avoid, it is made slightly better than a normal try / touchdown! Depending on the competition, you either get your conversion free (so, 7 points straight onto the board), or the conversion is made easier by kicking from directly in front of the posts rather than in front of where the scoring play ended. Plus an offending player *must* be temporarily suspended or sent off, so the defence now play one man down. It all reduces the temptation to cheat.
As a huge football guy no wonder I love rugby lol
Not easy to anticipate the snap. Or to vault yourself into the opponent's backfield

It's not only the palpably unfair act rule but also...
Under the Unsportsmanlike Conduct section of the rule book, it is stated that, "The defense shall not commit successive or repeated fouls to prevent a score." If they do, then "the score involved is awarded to the offensive team."
I guess Commanders fans don’t like this rule. 😂
This happened between the Steelers and Chargers in 2018. The Chargers came back from a two score deficit at half to kick a game winning field goal. The Steelers jumped offsides three plays in a row to block the kick, but the 3rd one made it.
oh hey, i didn't know the NFL had this rule, but considering Rugby has the Penalty Try, i guess i should have assumed that American Football would have a Penalty Touchdown.
That would be an excellent deterrent for such acts, ngl. Warn them after the 2nd or 3rd consecutive penalty, so that the next one awards an automatic score for the offense, with a free 2-pt conversion added in as a bonus.
@cameraredeye3115 that's how it works in Rugby, if the defense gives up like 3 or 4 consecutive fouls (or one intentional foul fir the purpose of preventing a Try) when near the In-Goal area. The Referee awards a Penalty Try between the sticks. It used to be you would get just the 5 points for the Try then an easy 2 point conversion kick. But now scoring a Try between the sticks gets in automatic 7 points with no conversion kick. So Penalty Trys hurt even more now.
Junior High School, on my football team, we had a kid that timed the ball hike perfectly and jumped over the line to sack the quarterback. It was a thing of beauty.
When is someone going to talk about the fact that when the Eagles run the Tush Push, the center lines up with his head out beyond the ball, and often moves before he starts moving the ball backwards? The center is into the defensive lineman's legs before he can legally react, and Philly has half a yard automatically. Yes, the center is allowed to line up in the neutral zone - he has to be able to do that, because he has his hands on the ball. But what Philly does is not what that rule intended.
I know what Philly fans will say, but everyone else can look at around the :48 mark of this video. The center's head is out beyond the ball by a good margin. His helmet would be touching the defender's helmet if they were lined up directly across from each other. The defender isn't line up in the neutral zone - it's the center that is actually out beyond the ball. And you can see in other videos that by the time Hurts gets the ball in his hands, the center is already well across the line of scrimmage. If you never played football, you might not understand that this is a HUGE advantage on these plays. The league knows. It's going to take fans screaming to make the league stop it.
You're probably right, and they should probably get a flag once in a while to get them to pay closer attention to it. I would not say "by a good margin", though. It's just barely over. But barely over is over, and they should get a flag when they're over. But I don't think we should ever expect a team to consider the intent of a rule rather than the rule as written.
@@finaoo1167 LOL. I knew someone was going to call that out. The point is that it's enough of a margin that it's undeniable that his head is beyond the ball. It's not just camera angle. If the defender lined up directly across, their helmets would be touching even though the defender isn't in the neutral zone.
When you can get a camera angle to show it, there are also plays where you can clearly see that by the time the ball is barely on Hurts' fingers, the center's thighs are actually leaning forward. As in, beyond vertical. It's not an easy move to pull off, so I guess give him some credit.
So why dont other teams do it? You act like the Eagles have a connect in the league office that allows only them to run this play. Cope harder.
@antcantcook960 Where, you know, exactly did I say any of that? You're entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts.
what is the center supposed to do, lose his head?
I usedto do this on madden 2000 on the n64, it was funny when they eventually just gave the other team the touchdown lol
this was actually in madden? that’s sick, im sure its not nowadays though because ea doesn’t care about their game
@jacktem1 I'm pretty sure it's still in there! I just haven't done it in a while since I'm not immature enough to get 40 offsides in a row anymore lol
But they probably don't give it the pomp and circumstance it deserves, just awards a td and go to the extra point

@@colmecolwagit’s not there. If u do it, it kicks u out the game, ends the game, and gives ur opponent the win.
Fun fact this was the longest 2nd down in nfl history
I have never wheezed so hard in my life. The only thing that made me laugh harder than these plays was Carter finally having enough and slapping the lineman back a few plays later.
The thing is, they werent "intentionally" doing anything illegal. there werent trying to draw a flag, it was just the nature of the situation and being unsuccessful, but i have never heard of that rule, so that was kinda crazy. Also, not a bad strategy when you consider if you get a false start, they would lose 5 yards and then even going offside again, would only be 1/2 the distance for the eagles.
Did it work for the Commanders? Or did it just do what it does most of the time, which is to say, such a play often causes more penalties for the defense rather than the offense.
It’s a risky play actually, that sometimes pays off, but most of the time it doesn’t pay off and instead further penalizes your team.
Love the choice of material for your videos. Great work.
The Palpably unfair act rule should have been used that time Mike Tomlin went on the field interfering with a Dolphins ball carrier.
Ravens, not Dolph8ns
Now we’re gonna see “Palpable Unfair Moments in the NFL but They Get Increasingly Unpalpable” montages on TH-cam
As Brady, Jim, and Romo all said, what the hell are you supposed to do against the tush push? You have to get lucky on the snap to beat it.
It's based on the Rugby scrum. You need to counter scrum and engage faster than they engage. Or just be bigger while pushing against them in scrum formation. Essentially the moment you know it's coming put your biggest line men on the field have them line up shoulder to shoulder with their heads facing the weak shoulder of each of the offensive line men and bear crawl forward into the O-line's shoulders as hard and fast as possible.
As the previous replier said, at some point, your team has to just get good at doing it themselves, or get a D-line that can stop it with their mass. They've already made it significantly harder to do over the last season. People upset about the Brotherly Shove at this point are lashing out because their team failed in the off season to bulk up their D-line.
We need another Troy Polomalu
@@timothystamm3200 this is impossible when one team is allowed to line up in the neutral zone and the other isnt. its the entire reason the neutral zone exists actually.
@@VocalSynthUtau so you need big and fast accelerating guys. It's not impossible.
The wife and I were watching this and I was, "well, THAT'S a first"...never heard of such a thing!!!
Chiefs just learned of a new way to win.
I can already imagine it
I mean if they are in this position they will probably win. The ref won’t just award points if you’re on your own 5
Normally the "unfair act" would either be something like a player coming off the bench to make a tackle, or using repeated fouls to run time off the clock. There were still almost 14 minutes left in the game, and the Commanders didn't gain any advantage from moving the Chiefs closer to the goal and repeating first down. And you have to understand that IF the Commanders timed the jump perfectly and knocked the ball loose before Hurts got a good handle on it, that would have been a perfectly legal play.
We have all seen teams get called for offsides two plays in a row with no warning. We've all seen players leap over the line (on both defense and offense), and as long as there is no "leverage" it's legal. The Commanders were attempting a legal play, and weren't trying to use repeated penalties to run off clock. So why did the refs give the warning this time? Because it made for bad TV. It slowed the game down.
The rule is intentionally vague, so the refs had every right to pull it out of the closet. But it's sort of hard to call something an "unfair act" when no advantage was gained.
how is this rare? the refs award points to the Chiefs every game!

We were laughing up a storm with what just happened.
i love how the ref says “at some point” so it’s kind of vague and discretionary
The rule itself is pretty vague and discretionary. It's meant to be an ultimate corrective measure but the game has been around for so long that the rules and norms are pretty ironed out.
He definitely didn't want to have to actually do it
@@maxwalton411 Yeah, and for good reason. The refs know that directly giving points to a team, even if it's the right call, is going to be *incredibly* controversial. You don't do that unless something flat out forces you to, and you warn the teams if possible.
This was just Hoculi telling the fans "Look, I'm sick of talking to y'all. Here's what's gonna happen if I have to come out here one more time"
I’d assume the 4th penalty would’ve been an unsportsmanlike like call and an ejection (if it was luvu) and a 5th would’ve been the awarded points, then on to the next possession
My older brother said "At what point do they just call it a touchdown?"
I thought he was just ignorant of the NFL rules and "half the distance to the goal"
Then the refs pulled this out the very next sentence. I ate my words.
🤣
The Eagles played with them using hard count, it was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen on a football field
The Patriots were infamous with that moves when Brady was QB. Hard count to drag the defensive line off side to get a fresh set of downs. I think it’s smart.

Coolest thing I learned during the games today. Great video, thanks.
That Mike Tomlin standing on the sidelines shouldve been deemed a Palpably Unfair Act, imo
He should have been suspended for that.
dw theyll fire him next season
Right he did it on purpose and he's the coach
There was a penalty and a fine for it.
How embarrassing, to be in one of the highest positions in football and pull a stunt like that. I’ve been a Steelers fan since the Chuck Noll days and think they should have fired him for that. He didn’t deserve to be a head coach after that crap (then lied…he didn’t realize he was on the field??..whatever).
There is something so funny about watching number 4 just launch himself over the line of scrimmage in slow motion
said the exact same thing about the fair catch kick when the chargers did it, I knew about it but NEVER thought I’d see it happen in my life
So many rare things happened this season lol
Ref says, "This type of behavior . . . " - - - Sounds like a parent scolding his young child. "If I ever catch you doing . . . ".
I do appreciate that it's a rule. Maybe the one time it would have been reasonable in a game I know of at any level, if the team hadn't scored anyway, is the Band on the Field play. But fortunately we got a dunked-on tuba player instead
Apparently it happened in a college game once, when a player who was on the sidelines (not part of the down at all, he was on the bench) came onto the field and tacked someone who was clearly going to score. I know someone else here cited the game.
"Palpably" Hahaha. Nobody even knows what that word means. And that's in the Football Rule Book. I am 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I knew about Palpably Unfair Acts, but I had forgotten that they can result in a score 😂
Theoretically, if it was in the final minute and the team with the ball was behind by more than a FG, the defense could just keep jumping offsides until the clock runs out, and then they would only have to stop the offense on one play.
I’m sure u want that chiefs fan
@@scotthime6928 well that's why there is this penalty
The first time I head the term was a few Super bowls ago, when Joe Flacco said he would come off the bench to tackle a free running opponent if time was closing and his TD would grab the win away. He didn't do that, but Baltimore did commit a flagrant holding penalty, where every defender grabbed an opponent's arm and slung him down to make the clock run out when all else needed would be one play from the offense's end zone. I did know about Tommy Lewis and his off-the-bench tackle in the Cotton Bowl of '54, but I just didn't itvwas called a PUFA.
@ That was sort of my point. But the rest of it was that this was an unusual place to use it. (It was just a warning, but they have to give a warning before they can call the penalty.) With almost the whole 4th quarter to go, and the penalties occurring on 1st down? Washington didn't gain any advantage. It just slowed the game down and made for bad TV.
I've been watching football since the mid-60s and I've never seen this penalty threatened or even heard of it.
this play was funny asf bruh I was watching it at the dinner table and I almost choked on sum mfin rice 😭🙏
It’s like a penalty try in rugby. If it wasn’t a rule then teams could just keep infringing to stop a touchdown.
The NFL failed when they allowed pushing and pulling of a runner.
For sure...no place for it.
Somewhere out there, Jon Bois is grinning ear to ear
This is just more proof that the defense has very few advantages on their side. This game favors the offense so much it ain't even funny.
If the offense commits a penalty in their endzone it is a safety, not half the distance to the goal line. I agree that the rules favor the offense, but this is the one time both sides get a rule (instead of just pushing offense) that punishes cheating by giving the other team points.
only thing more blatant was #72 William Perry advancing #34 Payton for a touchdown in that amazing Chicago Bears game
This penalty has a major effect (a free touchdown), but it’s not the rarest. 20+ years ago Tim Brown, playing for the Raiders, was called for “loitering”. I have no idea how that’s defined on a football field but I’ve never heard it called since.
Back then, they had madatory smoke breaks. You needed to be on the sideline though, if you lit one up on the field of play it resulted in a loitering penalty.
This is the only time I've ever heard of rule, so it definitely takes the cake. But as an Iowa football fan, there's been 2 times I can remember about 20 years apart where our defense was penalized for "Disconcerting signals". Essentially, they flagged the defense for calling an audible too loudly. I've been watching football games for over 30 years and have never heard that penalty called on any other occasion.
In all my life, I've only ever seen "disconcertion" called in basketball in one game -- the ending of a middle school girls game. Ref called it TWICE when the defensive team yelled "box out!!!" too loudly during potentially game-winning free throws. 13yo got 3 chances to seal the game! I thought there would be blood in the stands, but I suppose it's a teachable moment.
@mikesmith2057 Ha! I was at a game once where the coach yelled stuff while the opposing player was shooting free throws. Ref didn't call anything but the other coach had some words in the handshake line

Ur wrong buddy
@@adityamohan6109 exactly
Been watching NFl since the late 70s. Had no idea this was a rule. However, I’m a little tired of seeing defensive penalties in goal line situations equate to fractions of yards and offensive penalty on the very next play backs you up the full distance. They need to develop some type of offsetting arrangement for this. The opposite should also be done when the offense is backed up to their own goal line. If the offers holds on the 5 and gets backed up to their own 2-1/2, then defense shouldn’t give up a full 10 yards and automatic first down because a receiver gets held on the next play.
“Palpatine’s Unfair Act will result in allowing the Rebellion to disable the shields around the Death Star. Repeat Second Down.”
🤦♂Its not unfair. No one want to watch dudes jump off sides for an hour trying to stop a team from moving less than an inch. Whats unfair is what Washington was doing, simply delaying the inevitable by cheating.
As the commentator said, “this has to be the longest second down in NFL history…”
this feels like it has Belichick written all over it
Shawn Hochuli. One half of the father and son Dancing Hochulis act. Always getting their faces on the screen for as long as they can. The "good" cops. ACK !
nah i still think the rarest is "illegal numbering" that i saw at the akron vs ohio state game.
Or Alabama vs. Vanderbilt on Alabama.
I loved how you could see one ref trying and kinda failing to not laugh on the second #4 encroachment.
I wanted this to be a Ref TD so bad LOL
College football also has that rule. It was once used back in the 1950s when a ball carrier was running to the end zone and he was going to score when an opposing player came off the bench and tackled him
They really had to go there. If a team wanted to they could do neutral zone infractions until the clock was run out.
Refs can extend the game with an untimed down if the clock runs out and there's a defensive penalty. Happened a few times, notably Miracle in Motown at the end of the game. It's also happened some in end of first half like Cameron Dicker's free-kick with a kicking team penalty.
Except the clock stops with the first one so what you said can't happen.
The officials making judgement calls for rulings under the terms of a "Palpably Unfair Act" has happened a few times in the past, but not in the case of jumping offsides. The term "Palpably Unfair Act" refers to when a team essentially tries to find a loophole, and the officials catch onto it, and the rule states that the officials can judge said situation any way they want to if they feel it is able to discourage the loophole from occuring. Said calls can be made even outside of the already set NFL Rulebook. It's essentially the NFL's way of preventing AirBuds, so that someone can't just look at the rulebook and say "There's nothing in there that says you can't do that."
So if someone does a blatant pass interference to prevent a touchdown... Shouldn't that be considered too and be awarded a score if it happens in the endzone?
if it happens multiple times
No. You don’t understand the concept at play here. The point of this is to prevent a team from making scoring impossible. The commanders could literally jump offsides every single play and waste hours (in theory) never letting the eagles even snap it to score. This also discourages teams committing penalties in theory hope of saving a touchdown. There’s good reason for this rule and it makes sense.
@@goofygoober7617 Couldn't that be also true if the defense just tackles the receivers coming off the line of scrimage? Or even when they are about to catch the ball, just wrestle them down. That can do the same thing as an offsides. Any penalty that is done on purpose to this degree should be enforced the same way regardless of what it is. That would be even for both sides.
@@goofygoober7617wouldn’t the eagles rather the commanders keep committing penalties so they could run more game clock? Awarding a score there screws over both teams
@@thetoptige8014well I’d assume the automatic score would be like a penalty and the eagles could decline it
At some point, there’s nothing else you can do when you’re at the half yard line and they keep committing the same penalty. It’s like karate kid three when he would gain a point and then lose one over and over again so the score stays zero but he doesn’t get disqualified
I actually agree with the refs here. The Commanders are blatantly wasting everybody's time by repeating the exact same penalty knowing damn well the Eagles are too close for the "half the distance to the goal" award to actually move the ball.
Stop wasting everyone's time and just suck up the easy TD you allowed to happen.

@@elephantwaffle5612but why would they if Washington is gonna keep jumping and let them run more clock
I love how the ref was trying not to laugh the entire time
The announcers cited the wrong rule.
There’s a rule that allows refs to award a score if ANY penalty is committed in succession to prevent a score.
There’s another rule that allows them to award a score if a team has been denied one by a palpably unfair act.
You are absolutely correct. Palpably unfair acts are Rule 12, Section 3, Article 4, "Palpably Unfair Acts", while this was in fact Rule 12, Section 3, Article 2, "Fouls to Prevent a Score":
"The defense shall not commit successive or repeated fouls to prevent a score.
Penalty: For successive or repeated fouls to prevent a score: If the violation is repeated after a warning, the score involved is awarded to the offensive team."
Interestingly it’s quite common in Rugby.

Wrong. The rarest penalty is any penalty that costs the Chiefs a game.
Richard Sherman is the patron saint of the unfair act. He left early on a field goal and got a piece of the ball just before he took out the kicker. The team got the penalty, but had no healthy kicker left.
The tush push needs to be removed from the game
Every rule in the book is geared to the offense, which is why this game is getting so stupid
The play can be stopped so they probably will never remove it since it's not a 100% play
NFL is a circus
Cope
If the Tush push needs to go, than free running QBs need to go as well. The QB should not be allowed to cross the line with the ball in hand unless he has been touched by an opposing player.
I dont understand why people are so mad with this they were in the one and only a few inches from the end zone so if they just kept moving the eagles up they would be snapping the ball in the endzone
This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard out of the NFL, and that bar is pretty damned low at this point. Why not penalize the offense for doing a hard count at the frigging goal line? How fair is that? You're literally trying to draw a penalty until the ball is so close to the goal line that it's automatically a score. That's pure bullshit. Not to mention, this is calling for someone to try and read the mind of the player or players to assess whether they are intentionally doing something unfair. Attempting to anticipate a snap count is what the defense is always doing to try an maximize the effectiveness of their rush. And while we're on the subject of the offensive and defensive line behaviors being fair or unfair, when are the officials going to stop allowing KC's offensive line to start moving before the ball is snapped? They do it EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
When the ref said that he can award a score I fell off the couch😂…💚🦅
IOW, the refs were threatening to go with their nuclear option. In this case I don't think it would so much be a "palpably unfair act" as it would be a "palpably travesty act".
I thought of baseball too
This rule has a clear connection to how a penalty try is awarded in both rugby league and union.
I’ve seen enough, change it back to the redskins

It keeps an Eagles player from having a touchdown, I guess. Maybe... I wonder how it would be recorded in the game stats.
Makes sense. Hockey has something similar where refs can awards goals for penalties committed on a player who has a clear path to an empty net
I wouldn’t blame Jayden for wanting to get out of Washington after that game. The non-existent defense and the blatantly stupid fumbles that cost the game
