Yes, in American football, if a team is assessed a delay of game penalty, the game clock typically continues to run unless the penalty occurs during a stoppage of play or after a timeout. The clock is reset to reflect the new play clock, which is set to 25 or 40 seconds, depending on the situation. However, the game clock itself remains unaffected by the delay of game penalty unless it is related to a specific play that stops the clock.
