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 Interference
on the Try
Ball snapped at the 3, use half the
distance enforcement.
 Ball snapped outside the 3, use the
“moving window”.
