Hypothetical situation regarding NFL rules (1 Viewer)

[Wheelhouse]

A team calls for a measurement after 2nd down and it's determined to be one link of the chain short. If after an incomlpete pass on 3rd down can the team still call for a measurement, hoping that maybe human error will result in a first down, possibly erasing that one-link shortage?

Are you watching VT/GT?

I was yes - that's where I got to thinking about that. <good call>

I don't have any source, but I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

A re-measurement would not happen after an incomplete pass.

The play would go back to the 2nd down marker..even if the chain gang were knocked over by the cheerleaders!

I like the question. So assuming you can't remeasure after an incomplete, could you remeasure after a false start followed by an encroachment? I think this is a very interesting question.

I think last weeks Colts game featured a 15 yard penalty that was only marked off 11 yards.
