Near the end of a close game where the defense is ahead and is trying to burn the clock, the officials will try to spot the ball as quickly as possible following a running play, before too much time runs off the game clock. Sometimes the defense will try to prevent the officials from spotting the ball quickly. The tacklers may refuse to get up off the ball carrier, or may "accidentally" flip or kick the ball away from the officials. Such actions can result in the defense being flagged for delay of game.

Can defense be penalized for delay of game when stemming?

In football, a defense cannot be penalized for delay of game when stemming, as this is a common tactic used by defensive players to create confusion and align themselves before the snap. Delay of game penalties are typically called on the offense for failing to snap the ball within the allotted time. However, if the defense takes excessive time to set up, they could potentially be penalized for other infractions, such as unsportsmanlike conduct, but not specifically for delay of game.
