Latest round of changes penalize touchbacks and squib kicks to encourage more returns though. New rules make the collisions lower speed but they added gimmick rules to make the game more "exciting." Having a team start at the 35 on a touchback ain't good for the quality of the game. With modern kickers range you only got to go 20-25 yards to be in field goal range off a touchback. Used to be you had to go 40-50 yards.

Right - Goodell didn't want a dead play so that was in their minds the best course of actions. Make the kickoffs 'safer'.

Offensive holding should balance out the field position battles

Worst possible ending for Cardinals. Cardinals fans still defending Kyler Murray and have a false sense of hope that they are a few plays from being 3-1
