A '''blocked punt''' happens in [[football]] when a player for the [[defense (American Football)|defense]] makes contact with the football just after it has been [[punted]]. If the team that blocked the punt recovers the football then they receive possession resulting in a first down. If the punting team recovers the blocked punt behind the line of scrimmage, depending on the down, it may or may not result in a turnover of possession.
