In the NFL what occurs when there is a defensive pass interference?
Automatic First DownThere shall be no interference with a forward pass thrown from behind the line, is one rule about interference. Defensive pass interference is called when a defensive player interferes with a receiver's attempt to catch the ball. If the defender makes contact with the receiver, it is pass interference, unless the contact is incidental, or done in order to make a play on the ball. For example the defensive player can knock the ball down, even if he has to contact the receiver to do it. But he cannot push the receiver, trip him, grab his arm, pull his shirt, etc. Typically referees will call pass interference if the defensive player makes contact with the receiver but is not looking back at the ball.When defensive pass interference is called, the offense receives an automatic first down, and the ball is placed where the interference occurred. If the interference occurs in the end zone, the ball is placed on the one yard line. Pass interference cannot be challenged once called.
Fifteen yard penalties are given for what kind of offenses?
In both college and the NFL, personal fouls (such as unnecessary roughness, grabbing the facemask, clipping, roughing the passer/kicker) and unsportsmanlike conduct. In college, offensive pass interference is a 15 yard penalty and defensive pass interference is 15 yards if the foul occurred 15 or more yards past the line of scrimmage (otherwise, the ball is placed at the spot of the foul). In the NFL, offensive pass interference is a 10 yard penalty and, for defensive pass interference, the ball is placed at the spot of the foul.
What is pass interference in flag football?
In general, interference is a deliberate act, with contact, to impede a receiver from catching a pass...or an act by a receiver to prevent defensing a pass (offensive pass interference). It is most often hitting or grabbing the receiver before the pass arrives, or a receiver shoving a defender away. If the pass has not been thrown when a defensive penalty occurs, the lesser penalty of illegal contact will apply instead. The rules are different in each level of play (high school, NCAA, NFL), as are the penalties applied.

Yes.
Can you tackle a runner by tripping him with your feet?
You can't tackle a player that doesn't have the ball in his possession. You can block any player you want -- you can even knock someone over with a pancake block -- but grabbing onto a player who doesn't have the ball and taking him to the ground would constitute holding.

Is there holding on defense in football?
Yes, defensive holding can be called when one of the defenders - usually a defensive back - holds onto a receiver and prevents him from running his route. Think of it as a minor pass interference. Defensive holding is a 10 yard penalty.

Yes- that is a good strategy that most defensive backs use.
Who gets the fumble on a backwards pass?
Whoever gets to the ball first. :-) A backward pass (i.e., a lateral) that is not caught is a live ball, and any player from either team may recover it. If it goes out of bounds, the ball is spotted at that point.
