What is Pass Interference?
One of the most common (and controversial) penalties in football is pass interference—when a defender makes illegal contact with a receiver during a pass attempt.

🧩 Key Rule Points:

• Contact must be made after the ball is thrown

• The defender can’t hold, grab, or block the receiver’s arms or body

• Playing the ball (like turning and trying to intercept) can reduce risk of a flag

🚩 Penalty Impact:

• In the NFL: It’s a spot foul—offense gets the ball where the interference happened

• On deep throws, this can mean 30+ yards gained in one penalty

📣 It’s often debated because it’s hard to judge in real time—and sometimes, it decides games.
