NFL Could Change Defensive Pass Interference Penalty

I'm on board with this. There shouldn't be any spot fouls in the NFL. 15 yarder is sufficient enough in this case.

Would be a good change. NCAA has this rule already, hasn't it? Spot of foul if under 15y, 15 yards penalty if the foul occurs further down the field.

Btw, I was looking at SB XXVI (amazing game).

And realized there has been some pretty significant rules changes between then and now:

What on earth was that "if a receiver is forced out of bounds while in the air, and he would have come down in bounds had he not been pushed, then it's a catch" rule ?!!?! Glad we got rid of that one!
It came up 2 times on the Art-Monk-called-back-TD-drive, feels pretty insane when you've never heard of it...
