Q: If a punt is in the air while the game clock expires and the receiver signals and makes a fair catch, is the game over?
- Danny Clark, LB, Giants: "Yes."
- Madison: "Yes."
- Damon Huard, QB, Chiefs: "If the punter touched it, then the game is over."
- Ray Rice, RB, Ravens: "Yes."
- Pace: "Yes. It's an untimed play, isn't it?
- Correct answer: No, the receiving team can try a fair-catch kick.
Q: What is a fair-catch kick?
- Brendon Ayanbadejo, LB, Ravens: "The ball is put on the tee, or maybe there's a holder holding it, but there's nobody covering."
- Jarret Johnson, LB, Ravens: "You kick from the 50, off the tee. You can cover it. We've gone over it in meetings, but you don't practice it because it's the kicker kicking off a tee."
- Correct answer: A fair-catch kick is a field goal attempt following a fair catch. It can be a placekick or dropkick, but no tee may be used. It cannot be defensed.

So you WERE wrong Dave.
"no tee may be used"
All that credit we had to grudingly give you...GONE.
Actually if you've been watching it's happened or nearly happened on three occasions over the last two weeks.
