As football season approaches, the excitement is palpable, and it is clear that things will be different this time around. The kickoff rule has undergone significant changes, moving from a string of touchbacks to now featuring a lot more action on the field. This shift in the rule could potentially be the most significant change the NFL has implemented in decades.
In fact, it may be the most significant adjustment since the introduction of the two-point conversion in 1994 or the relocation of goalposts to the back of the end zone in 1974. While other notable changes have been made to enhance different aspects of the game, this modification stands out as a game-changer in its own right.
Unlike other changes that have been part of broader adjustments, this modification has the potential to completely transform the way the game is played. It could rank among the most significant changes in NFL history, especially as it revitalizes a play that previously added little to the game.
