In the NFL, an illegal crackback is a penalty that occurs when a player, typically a receiver or running back, blocks an opponent who is outside the tackle box and not facing them, usually during a play that is designed to go in the opposite direction. This type of block is deemed illegal because it can pose a safety risk, as it can catch defenders off guard and lead to dangerous collisions. The penalty for an illegal crackback results in a 15-yard loss from the spot of the foul.
