I think it has something to do with how they can line up on kickoffs.

Saw something that there was a change that would make it slightly easier for onside kicks.

Now the receiving team can only have nine guys lined up in the area 10-25 yards away from the ball

Here is my onside kick rule change: the kicker can line up anywhere he wants on the 35 yard line, not just inside the hashes. That forces the receiving team to guard the width of the field rather than half of it and would have fewer people crashing into the scrum.

I'm not positive this hasn't been added in the last few seasons so correct me if it has.

I've never understood why the NFL has refused to allow the defensive team to score 2 points on returns on PAT and 2-point conversion attempts. It is literally the only type of play in which only one team can possibly score.

I know it would be super rare, as it is in college, but why have any specific play type in which only one team can possibly score points? Dumb.

They fixed that rule years ago, it famously decided a Chiefs Falcons game in 2016 (https://www.businessinsider.com/chie...istory-2016-12)

After the Hail Murray this year, the Cardinals knelt on the football specifically to prevent the Bills from having a chance to run it back.

Thank you. I couldn't remember that they had changed it but I'm glad they did!

Yeah, that was great. I miss Eric Berry.

What kind of dumb policy is this?

What happens next year? They'll just change anyway?
