It is illegal to continue during a play, or to hit a player who's helmet comes off.
I found this explanation online: Any player who loses his helmet during a live ball situation cannot continue to participate and no player may hit a player whose helmet is completely off. If a ball carrier loses his helmet, the play stops. The penalty for participating without a helmet is a live ball foul and in some cases could be a flagrant foul.

The way the rule is written you can't have any contact once the helmet comes off. If the ball carrier's helmet comes off the refs are to blow it dead immediately. But, asking somebody that is already engage in blocking to stop is crazy, although if they did and the defense made contact with them the foul should then be called on the defense.

He was engaged and pissed .no whistles were blown till runner was down. It was smashmouth line vs line a /b gap
Running. Then a flag.
We initially thought it was for thr facemask.
Not really bitching was odd.
We were already at a Running clock. .
Meh just a bad call.

It is a terrible rule but I guess for safety. If a players helmet comes off they must stop participating even if the play continues. SMH

Kid was si pissed when his helnet got tore off.he drove his guy like a beast lol.
We got a 15 ydr for that and the reciever leaped when a guy went for his knees from the side.
