The NFL love the Patriots .... Patriots Donta Hightower appears to attempt to stand over Jets long-snapper Tanner Purdum just before Nick Folks 58-yard field goal at the end of the Jets loss to the Patriots. However official moves him away ... which in essence changes the possibility of a penalty being called if applicable. Rule 9, Section 1, Article 3 provides that any player within one yard of the line of scrimmage on a field goal try “must have his entire body outside the snapper’s shoulder pads at the snap.”
