Forgot where I read it, but thought it was interesting.
Teams get the benefit of the doubt for the first intentional foul. There is a rule that if a team does it again, the time would be added back on the clock.
Basically, the intentional holding of all WRs would only work once in a game. So since San Fran held our WRs in the first half, they couldn't do it again in the 4th quarter to run time off the clock.
I know some players who get beat on a route intentionally hold for a 5 yard penalty and first down, but if it's done several times a game, why isn't clock time added back like the rule book states?
I'm sure there are others that you could get away with without being considered intentional even though it was, but this is definitely interesting.
