a free kick is a field goal kick you are awarded if you get a fair catch on the last play of the half. There is no blockers on this play and it can be returned as if a punt what a free kick

Just to correct something the "Fair catch kick" or Free Kick FG attempt can be exercised by the team that successful called for and caught the Fair Catch at any time during the game.
But you'll most likely will only see it at the end of the half and if the team is down and has insufficient time to run a offensive play.
But it's not limited to the end of the half.

like the goal

@basoon64 You still spelled "spelled" wrong. . . smh

@kyle1981100 Actually, there is no snap on the fair catch kick; it is played from the spot of the catch. Therefore, a fair catch at midfield would result in a 60-yard attempt.

It can also be drop kicked

@MrDwtime70 he should know its "colledge" duh. :-p

you still spelt cardinals* wrong

@bjdon99, a fair catch at the 50 would be a 67 yard FG. 10 yrs for the endzone and 7 or 8 yards for the snap, so 67 or 68 yards.

What I don't understand is this:
If the receiving team takes a fair catch on a punt, the whole play takes about 6 seconds.
If there are 6 seconds left in the half, and it's fourth down, why would the offensive team (kicking team) punt? It can only hurt them. They could run one last play, kick a field goal, or even just kneel.
The only way I can understand this happening is if the receiving team wastes so much time getting into position after the punt that the clock runs out.

Because if they get lucky enough to get it through the uprights, its a field goal, though its a big gamble i agree.

I think you misunderstand my question. Why would the OPPOSING team kick off to them in the first place, such that there could be a fair catch and thus a free kick?
prokrastinatorSF 2 years ago
Oh, maybe they got a touchdown or field goal. that would have forced them to.
619drum 2 years ago
Ah so it doesn't have to be a punt they're catching, it can be a kickoff as well?
prokrastinatorSF 2 years ago
correct
