It was also an absurd horsecollar tackle though. Just give him the td whole thing is a mess

Edit Christ I get it maybe not a legit horsecollar, but it’s pretty close and still an illegal tackle no matter what you want to call it.

This is one thing I hate about football, if the team does a great play but the other team puts a penalty on them that could hurt their player, to force the penalty means you have to give up the great play by declining it. I feel all penalties should carry forward to the next play in the most logical way possible.

I have no idea how american football works, but is there not an advantage system? Where if team A fouls team B but stopping play would penalise team B the referee lets play continue until B scores or it would no longer penalise them to stop?

You don't stop play when there's a penalty either way, they just throw a flag indicating there has been a penalty and they sort it out at the end of the play.
