Defensive Pass Interference

DPI is not a personal foul; so it can never carry over if committed during TD.

If the DPI occurs less than 15 yards from LOS, it is a spot foul.

If the DPI occurs more than15 yards from LOS, the penalty is 15 yards from the previous spot.

Defensive Pass Interference

There is not “half the distance” penalty until the previous spot is at the 2 yard line.

Inside the 30 yard line, you will mark off the full 15 yards.

Inside the 17 yard line, you will put the ball at the 2 yard line.

Defensive Pass Interference

This is sometime referred to as the “moving window”.

The “moving window” does not collapse until you reach the 17 yard line.

Defensive Pass Interferenceon the Try

Ball snapped at the 3, use half the distance enforcement.

Ball snapped outside the 3, use the “moving window”.
