Mel Renfro Rule:
Double touching of a forward pass is legal, but batting a pass toward's the opponent's end zone is illegal. Previously, a second offensive player could not legally catch a deflected pass unless a defensive player had touched it. This is usually referred to as the "Mel Renfro Rule". During a play in Super Bowl V, Baltimore Colts receiver Eddie Hinton tipped a pass intended for him. Renfro, the Cowboys defensive back, made a stab at the ball and it was ruled that he tipped it ever so slightly (which he denied) into the arms of Colts tight end John Mackey, who ran for a touchdown. Later, this rule was also the one in question during the Immaculate Reception in 1972. But despite these two incidents, the rule change did not occur until the 1978 season.

so why isnt there a penalty? or a rule created for that?

Because it is Peyton Manning. We all know the league LOVES the Mannings and will do whatever it takes to get them into a superbowl one day.

Thank You Sir.....I did not recall that.

No problem. I had to look up the Deion Sanders Rule because I couldn't remember it, you're not the only one forgeting NFL Rules inspired by Dallas Cowboy players, there are so many of them it's kinda hard to keep up. lolZ.

Thanks I should have known that. Welcome to the board. Just don't feed the geezers and stay out of their yards.

Glad to have you here...

I grew up not to far from Texarkana....The Yellow Jackets at one time owned them........

It looks like an infant imitating an adult. Some might find it amusing in a puerile way, but it wears me right out.

Eli looks like an infant both on and off the field. I would respect the guy if he actually looked like a man.

C.E. Byrd HS?

 

[stag hunter]

Erik Williams 'hands-to-the-face' rule, which was pretty much a result of Reggie White's consistent whining because he couldn't get through Erik Williams... after they invented the rule, Erik Williams' play was just not the same...

Definitely wasn't the car accident and debilitating leg injury..

 

[CaptainQuint]

I still can't figure how him pulling away from center isn't a false start........

Manning, Saturday, and most of the Colts' O Line look flag-able on every play!
How do they get away with it?

Peyton Manning is the poster boy for the good side of the NFL. Don't you think that the NFL WANTS him to win.

I don't buy into conspiracy theories, but I do believe that refs officiate games to help some teams beat others.

What do you think the refs really look at when they go under that hood for a replay timeout? The screen in that hood is broadcasting the commish, and he is giving out reasons for the ref to rule a certain way, and he is showing the real time Vegas lines to show how much ca$h is on the line if a given team wins (or loses).

If you told me that you knew of the "tuck" rule before that Brady play, I would call you a liar.

The NFL pulled that rule out of its arse to keep the Pats on the SB run post 9/11.

Denison HS

Ahhh... well I didn't play at THS...

I live in 3A Atlanta now and we beat Denison 3 straight years when they were the top team in 4A...

I played at Lufkin...

Well it's been many a moon (Early 60s)..... We beat Texarkana two years straight for bi-district. In "62" we beat them twice on their home field.

Atlanta......Good ole East Texas....

Actually, Cowboy fans should have known of the rule because Quincy Carter had done the very same thing earlier in the year. Of course they didn't call it 'tuck rule' or anything, they just called it 'an incomplete forward pass'. He had also been saved of a fumble in 2003 by the exact same thing.
