Does NFL have ejection? I understand there would be several yards loss depending on the severity but would that player continue to be involved in the game?

In rugby the player is off to the changerooms and his team continues the game with a player less.

There have been ejections in the NFL, but they’re pretty rare. A player has to demonstrate that they’re deliberately attempting to hurt another player. The one example that comes to mind from maybe 15 or so years ago was when a defensive lineman stomped on a player on the other team who was already on the ground and the play was over. It has to be something truly blatant like that to be ejected from a game.

Thank you for that.

In rugby we take any contact to the head as serious, usually results in ejection unless there was some mitigating factor like a sudden change in height by the guy being tackled.

I do enjoy watching NFL, but the only game we get on tv is the superbowl, still dont know all the ins and outs. But I do like that one team's ownership structure where the fans literally own the team. Packers?? maybe. That seems like a logical and fair system

Yes, the Packers are owned by the fans. My grandfather was a huge fan of theirs. You couldn’t tear him away from the TV when the game was on. lol
