Changes In Rules On Punts And Lateral Passes
National Football Rules Committee announced three changes for 1928 to curb abuses from backward and lateral passes. A two yard requirement for lateral passes to be ruled as such, muff or fumble of a punt may be recovered but not advanced, and no player who crossed the line of scrimmage may interfere until the ball is touched. These aim to reduce illegal blocking and encourage backyard passing while preserving core protections.
