The maximum distance that can be given as a penalty in American football is half the distance to the opponent's goalline; for example, if you were on the 15-yard line and received 10 yards of penalty, the maximum you could gain is 7.5, or 8 yards rounded.
This is accomplished by passing, running, penalty, and recovering what was once a turnover to the defense.
No. Unsportsmanlike conduct fouls by the defense do not give the offense a first down if the line to gain is further than 15 yards.
Declining a penalty is when the team not receiving the penalty turns down the penalty on the other team. Penalties usually result in a loss or gain of yards and a replay of the down.ExampleIf the offense runs a play on third down and ends up four yards short of a first down but commits an offensive penalty the defense would most likely want to decline that penalty so that the third down play stands. If they were to accept the penalty the offense would get another shot and making the third down yardage even though it would be 9 yards to go (5 yard penalty) or 14 yards to go (10 yard penalty). Even though the penalty would back up the offense why give them another shot at completing third down yardage. Declining the penalty makes it fourth down with four yards to go and they most likely punt.
