Three Rule Changes to Speed Up Gridiron Play
The rules committee adopted three major changes for the football season. A five yard penalty for each incomplete forward pass after four downs discourages stall tactics and wild throws. A safety rule places the ball on the one yard line after a score and requires kicking on the first play. A unique kick handling rule returns the ball to the last touched team when a kick hits a back player, reducing injuries and chaotic plays.
