I don't get why people don't understand this. The play happened after a play that resulted in a first down and it was a dead ball penalty. Once the ball was pushed back outside the 10 it was no longer first and goal.

This just shows you the football acumen of most posters. Either they are new fans or just never bothered to learn the rules.

Cuz what you said does not make sense.

Run a play. Get First and goal at the 1. Dead ball. Personal foul. 15 yard penalty. Should it not be First and goal at 16. This is what he is asking.

ETA: If this is a new rule just say so. But saying "new set of downs had not been established yet" is bullshite. That's the definition of a dead ball.
