ASSISTING THE RUNNER AND INTERLOCKING INTERFERENCE</h4>No offensive player may:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">pull a runner in any direction at any time;</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">use interlocking interference, by grasping a teammate or by using his hands or arms to encircle the body of a teammate in an effort to block an opponent; or</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">push or throw his body against a teammate to aid him in an attempt to obstruct an opponent or to recover a loose ball.</li> </ol>Penalty: For assisting the runner, interlocking interference, or illegal use of hands, arms, or body by the offense: Loss of 10 yards.</blockquote>
