A neutral zone infraction occurs when a defensive player moves into the neutral zone and causes an offensive player to react before the snap. A false start happens when an offensive player moves before the snap of the ball. Both result in a penalty, but a neutral zone infraction is on the defense and a false start is on the offense.
