The NFL competition committee proposed changes to rules for next season around replay review and kickoff rules, which will be voted on next week along with several team proposals, including eliminating the tush push.
The NFL competition committee has proposed changes to the league's kickoff rules for the 2025 season, aiming to enhance player safety and increase the excitement of the game. These changes include allowing teams to fair catch kickoffs anywhere behind their 25-yard line, which would result in the ball being placed at the 25-yard line, similar to rules in college football. Additionally, the committee suggested modifications to the onside kick rules, potentially allowing teams to declare their intent to attempt an onside kick, which could only be executed in the fourth quarter and under specific conditions. These proposals are part of ongoing efforts to reduce injuries, particularly concussions, which have been more frequent during kickoffs. The proposals will be discussed and potentially voted on at the NFL's annual league meeting in May.
