1948 Nfl Season

MAJOR RULE CHANGES

Plastic helmets are prohibited. This rule was enacted because critics argued that they were being used more as a weapon than protection.

When the intended passer is tackled behind the line of scrimmage, the game clock will stop temporarily until any receivers who have gone down field have had a reasonable time to return.

When the offense is called for delay of game, the defense may decline the 5-yard distance penalty.

If a foul occurs behind the line during a backwards pass or fumble, the penalty is enforced from the spot of the pass or fumble.
