Best Answer

Once the passed ball hits any part of the goal posts it is considered dead. According to an article on chicagosports.com, former NFL referee Jerry Markbreit was asked a similar question. "If the ball hits the upright is it still in play on a forward pass or a field goal try?"

His answer was:

"The goal post is out-of-bounds in the end zone; however, a field goal try that hits any part of the goal posts and rebounds through scores three points. So, in this case, the goal post remains in play. If the ball rebounds back into the end zone or into the field of play, it cannot be advanced because it is dead by rule. If a forward pass hits the goal post, it is dead immediately and an incomplete pass is ruled."

The ball is always live. The kicking team, however, can only recover it after the opposing team touches it.

If the Field Goal is blocked it can be recovered by the kicking team if the ball never crosses the line of scrimmage.

Yes. Free kicks remain live until someone either recovers the ball or it rolls out of bounds.

If no one made an attempt to recover the ball, the official could blow the play dead, although that would be unlikely to ever happen. The receiving team would make every effort to field the ball, since not doing so could result in an easy touchdown for the kicking team.

It's dead. The goal posts are out of bounds, so if a ball touches them it becomes dead. (Although if a ball hits an upright or the crossbar but still goes through, the kick is still good.)

Live. Referee is part of the field, but not the ground.

It is out of bounds if it hits the goalposts. I realized that when the ball hit the goalpost and a Steeler player "intercepted the ball"

It is a fair and live ball because home plate is in fair territory.
