Special enforcement

“Special enforcement” is not a standard or well-known word in American football. But it could mean one of a few possible situations:

During special teams plays, like kickoffs, punts, field goals, and extra point tries, penalties may be in effect. Penalties in these cases may have different rules for enforcing them because of how the game is played.

Unique Rules for Enforcing Penalties: Some penalties have rules for enforcing them that are different from those for other penalties. This can include penalties that are applied at the start or those that can be applied at the end of the play or the foul spot.

Uncommon or Rarely Called Penalties: In football, some penalties aren’t called very often and may have special rules for how they are enforced that most people don’t know about. Penalties could include fair catch interference or palming, which is when you push the ball forward illegally with an open palm.

Different Rules for Different Situations: Different rules may apply for different parts of the game, such as after a change of control or during a try (extra point or two-point conversion attempt).

Without more information, it’s hard to say what “special enforcement” in American football means. This word isn’t standard like “offsides,” “holding,” or “pass interference,” so it could mean different things depending on the situation.
