There was just a situation in the Saints/Cardinals game where there were 3 personal fouls on the same play. All the penalties were offset and play continued. I had never seen a situation like this before. I looked through the appropriate section of the 2006 NFL Rulebook. There is nothing specifically mentioned on 3 penalties called on the same play between two different teams. Based on this and the way it was enforced in this game, it would seem the same applies to any number of penalties greater than one as applies to a "double foul"
Double Fouls
If during the play, penalties offset, redo the down.
If after the play, penalties offset, proceed to next down
EXCEPTION: If one penalty is a 15 yard personal foul and the opposing penalty is a 5 yard foul, the 15 yard personal foul takes precedence over the 5 yard foul, so the 15 yard personal foul will be enforce.
