Safety
1. In addition to a kickoff, the other free kick is a kick after
a safety (safety kick). A punt may be used (a punt may not be used
on a kickoff).
2. On a safety kick, the team scored upon puts ball in play by
a punt, dropkick, or placekick without tee. No score can be made
on a free kick following a safety, even if a series of penalties
places team in position. (A field goal can be scored only on a play
from scrimmage or a free kick after a fair catch.) |
