The rule can be broken down into flagrant (15 yard penalty) and non-flagrant (5 yard penalty). Obviously in a rough game, infractions do occur and if the referee feels that the face mask was grabbed inadvertently a five yard penalty may be called. If the referee feels that it was intentional, a 15 yard personal foul may be called. Usually in the flagrant variety you will see the player's head turn 90 degrees, you will see the player 'tackled' by the face mask or any other grabbing which really makes most people 'cringe' because it could break your neck.

The first person to design a bar face mask on a helmet was a sporting goods shop owner named Vernon McMillen in the mid 1930s. It was a rubber covered wire mask that was used with the leather helmets of the day. The sporting goods company Riddell designed the first plastic face mask in 1940 to be used with a plastic helmet that they also designed.
