Every defensive penalty in the nfl is automatic 1st down. So on 4th down, the defense gets called for illegal contact the offense is remedied with a new set of downs. It’s like if my car gets totaled, the insurance company has to give me 4 cars. It’s stupid.

Not offsides or "running into the kicker."

Not true. Defense Offsides is only 5 yards. No automatic first down.

That’s inaccurate and a horrible analogy. 12 men on field, encroachment, delay of game, probably some more that I’m forgetting
