NFL Onside Kick Rules: Everything You Need to Know
Question Does an on sides kickoff have to touch the ground before it is considered live?
Answer Rick
The kick is live once kicked. The Receiving team may recover it before it touches the ground. The kicking team has more restrictions, the ball must go 10 yards or be touched by Team B and if the ball is in the air and has gone 10 yards the Kicking team may recover it provided there is no Kick Catch Interference...
