DYK: Blocking a FG attempt as it approaches the crossbar falls under the NFL's palpably unfair act rule?

And I don't really understand why. If it's that close a call whether you make it or not that a guy can stand in the end zone and swat it away, that's on you.

I see it like goaltending in basketball. You can block it on the way up but not on the way down. -- nm - Krusty Nov 26, 14:21 1
- Goaltending is the exact verb the NFL uses in the rulebook for it. -- nm - Baron-Yogg Nov 26, 15:00
