Football Is Back, but You Won’t Recognize the Kickoff.

NFL enacts rule to boost excitement and player safety.

By Edward C. Baig, AARP. Published September 04, 2024.

The start of the 105th NFL season will look rather strange Thursday night when the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs host the Baltimore Ravens. And that weirdness will be evident right from the opening kickoff.

National Football League clubs adopted a complicated new “dynamic kickoff” rule in an effort to bring excitement back to the play, while simultaneously curtailing what the league has conceded is an “unacceptable” rate of injuries.
