ILLEGAL HORSE-COLLAR TACKLE RULES 9-4-3k
The name plate area (directly below the back collar) has been added to the criteria for an illegal horse-collar tackle.
It is a foul to grab the inside back, name plate area or side collar of either the shoulder pads or the jersey of the runner and subsequently pull (backwards or sideward) that opponent to the ground, even if possession is lost. The horse-collar is enforced as a live-ball foul.
