During the Denver Broncos‘ game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, defensive lineman Malcolm Roach lost his helmet during a play.
Typically that wouldn’t be a problem, he could simply retrieve it and put it back on before the next play. In this particular instance, however, the Raiders were rushing up to the line to snap the ball so they could spike it and stop the clock. Roach couldn’t go back across the line to retrieve his helmet and risk being penalized for lining up offsides at the snap.
