The options are, for all penalties: 0 yards; 5 yards; 10 yards; 15 yards. In the case of a penalty which may be a spot foul, give the yardage if not a spot foul. Do not worry about first downs awarded
Please look at the side on which the penalty is called, as the penalty is sometimes harsher for the Offense than it is for the Defense.

	@saints09: spearing is poking another player with a blade attached to a long stick. ;)

	I need to start hibernating during the summer, that way I can sleep through the NFL off season.

	Upon taking this quiz, James Harrison was fined $25,000.

	Needs to add "Touching the Quarterback". 15 yards.

	lol @ Marciniak. QFT! Intentional grounding shouldn't be on this quiz for the same reason defensive pass interference is on the quiz - the answer is "it depends." You would think that the editors would have looked at the comments and done a little research before publishing this quiz, but you would be wrong...

	Have you noticed they hardly ever call clipping anymore?

	Kicking the ball out of bounds on a kickoff doesnt have a specific yard amount tied to it. They just move the ball up to the 40.

	SteelyMatt:	May 3rd, 2012 at 18:26 GMT		1 point
	Actually, kicking the ball out of bounds gets spotted at the 40 because it's technically a 25 yard penalty and loss of ball.

	Lions6116:	May 3rd, 2012 at 18:28 GMT		1 point
	but if the ball goes out at say the 31 it would only be a 9 yard penalty

	leon66a:	May 3rd, 2012 at 20:34 GMT		3 points
	No. All of these are calculated from the original line of scrimmage.
