NFL Proposes Major Rule Changes Including Anytime Onside Kicks

NFL Competition Committee proposed five rule changes ahead of next week’s league meeting, including allowing onside kicks at any time and adjusting kickoff rules. Proposals also include modifying receiving team alignment, removing incentives for out-of-bounds kicks, and permitting league personnel to assist on disqualifications. A one-year rule would allow officiating corrections for “clear and obvious misses” during a potential referees work stoppage.
