- The rule regarding low hits on passers is clarified:
- A defender cannot initiate a roll or lunge and forcibly hit the passer in the knee area or below, even if he is being contacted by another player.
- It is not a foul if the defender swipes, wraps, or grabs a passer in the knee area or below in an attempt to tackle him.
