We all know of the first ever kick return for TD that the Battlehawks took for 6 in week 2. But In Week 5 there was another return for TD. Check out the first two kick returns for TD in the XFL
Love that the NFL is adopting a version of this. Everything is designed to encourage a meaningful play during kickoff. No one will be sending kicks into the endzone on purpose. Guys won't be getting their heads smashed in. All kickoffs will now require strategy, luck and craft. Honestly kinda fun to watch everyone scramble. There's more potential for kick returns for TDs. I dunno just seems like a big upgrade from a bunch of long kicks that bounce in some far corner of the field followed by a whistle blowing. Great step for the game!
Teams will 100% still kick the ball out of the end zone still… it’s only 5 more yards than it was before after a touchback and teams will avoid kicking to dangerous players
Anyone who is complaining about this new kickoff rule is being stupid, it’s obviously an upgrade and improvement to the kick off vs having touchbacks all the time. People don’t even know what the new rules are and keep saying nfl is ruined when this actually is helping it.
@@MarioHuizar10they are still just gonna put the ball in the end zone every time it's a horrible rule. The NFL just want flag football if they actually cared they would make the changes that players have been asking for
@@gavinpetty4036 have you even read the rules? Do you know what happened now if the ball gets put in the end zone? And your comment makes no sense, if the nfl wants flag football they would just keep the kick off as is since there’s no returns, this at least now makes it so you have to return it.
@@MarioHuizar10I find it really funny that you said people are complaining, but don’t even know the actual rules of the kickoff. Then some bozo comes and confirms your point talking about “they will just kick it into the end zone”. Doesn’t even realize that a touchback now puts you at the 35 rather than the 25 now
Idk why people are upset about this. When they moved the kickoff forward it took away a TON of excitement with kick returns. Now we will actually get to see what these speedsters are made of! Also it’s a bit safer too. Not as much room to go top speed and hit the returner like a wrecking ball. Not as many concussions I would think. I like it! For once the league got a little “fun”. Now if only my Bills would stop playin’ and give us the damn 90’s throwbacks with the red helmets! Haha 🤣 they changed the rule! Tf taking so long?! 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
NFL just changed their kick off rule. If they were truly concerned about player safety they would adopt this version of the kick off. It lowers the high speed contact by all players not just the kick returner. We all know the NFL will not adopt any version of they sport that was not created by them. It's time to invest big money into the XFL and obtaining NFL players.
Only two returns for TD ever. There will be zero next year in the NFL. Taking away one of the most exciting plays in football. Whatever we got bridges collapsing everywhere, who cares about our country’s favorite pastime
This is a stupid rule! Make NFL kickoffs great again! Go back to when the NFL was a better product to watch! THAT would make the NFL better (not just kickoffs)!
Crazy, this will create so many different field position scenario and true scoring opportunities during the kick-off play. Now every kick-off will be a REAL potential scoring play. You will love it after preseason. Because last year Kick-off was STUPID. Fair Catch?
