There will be more flexibility for onside kicks in 2025.

According to multiple reports, owners passed the rule change allowing teams to declare an onside kick attempt at any point during a game if the club is trailing.

    I really dislike the rule changes because it just makes so much tinkering for years and it’s hard to understand.

    I am think most of the dangerous play would be reduced if pads and equipment were made of stiff leather instead of plastics. If we made these guys hit each other and also feel it, they wouldn’t hurt themselves by hitting so hard. just my opinion backed up with conversations with a couple of doctors with real NFL sports medicine experience

      Wasn’t the old equipment made from leather? Weren’t there more injuries during that time?

        Not a fair comparison because they were also smoking and drinking at half-time when the were still wearing leather gear.
