The correct response is:
Football player #5 exerts an action force against player #29. Player #29’s force is a reaction force against player #5.
In this context, player #5's tackle on player #29 represents the action force, while player #29's response (pushing back against player #5) is the reaction force. According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
