I was wondering what would happen in the NFL (and NCAA) with the following scenario:
Denver blocks the extra point attempt and returns the ball all the way - ok 2 points.
Denver blocks the extra point attempt and returns the ball, but commits a penalty - ok, return is no good.
But what if Denver blocks the extra point attempt and returns the ball all the way to the 10, but is pulled down by a facemask at the 10? Does Denver get the ball? How would that work? Is it just a penalty that is penalized on the succeeding kickoff?
If so, can the kicking team do whatever it wants to do to stop the return team and suffer no consequences on that one play? Could a New Orleans player have thrown his helmet at the Denver player and tripped him up, and the game would still be tied with no consequence except for where the next kickoff would be kicked from? If so, it seems like a rule problem.
If you give Denver an 'extra point attempt' it also seems like a rule problem.
I'm just wondering how an offensive penalty after the turnover would be called?
