No More Kickoffs?
With players safety becoming more of an issue in the NFL, the league office is kicking around an idea to get rid of the kickoff all together. Here’s how It would work. After a team scores, they would put the ball on their own 30 yard line and call it 4th and 15. They could either go for it and try and keep possession or punt the ball away to the other team.
