  • The kickoff rule in the NFL could see a big change in its rules, beginning in the 2025 season, with plans about it already being discussed.

The NFL's Competition Committee has recommended a change to the controversial new kickoff rule that was introduced to enhance player safety by reducing high-speed collisions. The proposed adjustment aims to address the unintended consequences of the rule, which has led to an increase in returns and a decrease in touchbacks, contrary to the initial expectations. This recommendation comes after observing the rule's impact during the preseason, where teams adapted in ways that led to more returns, potentially increasing the risk of injuries. The committee's proposal seeks to find a balance between safety and maintaining the excitement of the game, with the final decision expected to be made at the upcoming NFL owners' meetings.
