NFL Team Owners Approve Overhaul of Kickoff Rules for 2024 Season

NFL team owners have approved a significant overhaul of kickoff rules, taking a page from the XFL’s book in an effort to revive the kickoff play. The new rule, set to be tested in the 2024 season, will see the ball kicked from the 35-yard line with 10 special teams members lined up at the opposing 40-yard line, with five players on each side of the field.
