Football rules question
Hands to the face is supposed to be a penalty but why is it that they don't call it when a ball carrier stiff arms a tackler in the face?

I believe that falls under the exception in 8aHelmet and Face Mask Fouls
ARTICLE 8. a. No player shall continuously contact an opponent’s face, helmet (including the face mask) or neck with hand(s) or arm(s) (Exception: By or against the runner). [S26}
b. No player shall grasp and then twist, turn or pull the face mask, chin strap or any helmet opening of an opponent. It is not a foul if the face mask, chin strap or helmet opening is not grasped and then twisted, turned or pulled. When in question, it is a foul.

Re: Football rules question
I looked for the rules but missed that one.
