A team will punt the football when they can not get a 1st down after 3rd downs. This is only done when the team is not in range to kick a field goal. The main reason for a punt is to make the other team start there drive farther back.

Why can't pass interference be called on a fake punt?

Pass interference CAN be called on a fake punt, however the outside players in the "gunner" position cannot be interfered with. On any given punt play, those players are blocked by up to two players on the punt return team, and as such, any punt play in which the punter tossed it up to one of his gunners would result in an interference call. These players can draw penalties for holding against the punt return team, and interference is NOT allowed against other members of the punt unit.


Why can't pass interference be called on a punt fake?

No because a punt is not a pass. There can, however, be fair catch interference. Whether the receiving player calls for a fair catch or not, the kicking team has to give the receiver an opportunity to field the ball.

Football Stats -- is a deflection of the football on a punt also considered a block when keeping stats -- assuming the ball is deflected but still crosses the line of scrimmage?

No it's not. If the ball, after a punt, crosses the line of scrimmage and hits ANY of the receiving team's players it's a live ball. So it's not considered a blocked punt.
