In today's NFL it's constantly changing so there's definitely plenty of rules you missed out on. #NFL #OdellBeckhamJr #DrewBrees Subscribe for more NFLHub videos! Background Music: / jethalebeats
The overtime rule of kicking a field goal on the first possession to win the game. Yeah that rule has been the same for as long as I can remember. I call this the Brett Favre rule. In 2009 in the NFC Championship game. The New Orleans Saints won the toss and Drew got the team in field goal range. The Saints kicker Garrett Hartley drilled it and sent the Saints to our very 1st and only Superbowl to date. Now if you go back and look at the stats for this game ( Minnesota Vikings vs New Orleans Saints ). I'm not going to lie, The Vikings beat us on paper and it was so bad that if you look at the stats without looking at the score, you would pretty much believe that Brett's Vikings won that game. Now as soon as Hartley kicked the ball, they started talking about that rule needing to be changed. They did have a great argument for it. The team that wins the toss can get to field goal range and setup for the field goal. It definitely makes it look bad when you aren't trying to score a touchdown. But hell, my Saints won and went on to win the Super bowl. The only thing that tore my heart out. My momma has always been a Saints fan. I mean even though all of the years of not winning and not even making it to the playoffs most years. My mom died on September 14th 2009. We were undefeated to that point and when we made it to the Superbowl, I cried my eyes out in front of all of my friends and family. Someone was trying to be a butthole and say that it was tears of joy. My best friend told the person that it wasn't. He told him that it was because my mother was going to see it. My whole life, my mother and I would watch every game together. The only games we didn't watch, those were when they couldn't sell out and the game was blacked out. Anyway I hope everyone has a great holiday season.
6:40... I was at one of Doug Flutie's last games as a Charger, when he scored two points from a drop kick on third down from about the twenty yard line around the end of 2004. Hard stat to find.
2:24 you are a little off in your "first down on punt" segment. If the punt (also, field goal) is partially blocked, and it crosses the line of scrimmage, the normal "downing" of the punt by the kicking team rule applies. If it didn't cross the line of scrimmage, the kicking team can recover and advance the ball, but still must gain the first down / touch down yardage.
I like how the title is "NFL Rules You Didn't Know Exist" & then he proceeds to go through rules that are pretty common knowledge if you've been a football fan for at least the past 10 years or so.
At one time an out of bounds kickoff was only a 5 yard penalty. It was changed to make the game more exciting by getting rid of "coffin corner" kickoffs.
In that last segment, there was a lot of talk about crazy TD celebrations, but none, nobody, will ever come close to the CFL's Edmonton Eskimos (now Elks) legend Henry "Gizmo" Williams, who's trademark celebration was to do a no hands flip after each TD he scored, and he scored many. And I never heard of him flubbing that gymnastics move either. He always had a perfect landing on his feet.
The overtime rule fix is simplicity itself... Give each team the chance to have the ball. Regardless of how the possession ends (except for pick 6) the other team gets a possession. Kick off starts each possession. If the game is still tied at the end of each possession then sudden death happens. The order reverses, and the possession starts as 1st and goal on the 50. You get exactly 4 downs to score. Then repeat the process for the other team. If the game is still a tie after this process, then the game ends as a tie.
I've studied statistics and market research, and anything less then a 5% difference is typically considered "within the margin of error" so yeah, a 6% difference (53 - 47 %) is just barely outside that margin of error.
i found the article and it states that out of 52 games in OT the team that won the coin toss has 28 wins, 20 losses, and 4 ties. this actually means the team that won the coin toss won 53.8% and lost 38.4% so the actually win-loss difference is about 15%
the double time out rule is now a 5 yard delay of game penalty. Not sure when it changed, but I was at the game where Gibbs called a double timeout vs the Bills. That was the first game Sean Taylor didn't play after being murdered.
Hollywood Henderson from the cowboys in the 70s was the first to dunk a ball over the goal post. Alvin Harper from the cowboys made it famous. After he did it in the 93 super bowl every football playing kid (and college player) wanted to do it. When we were kids playing peewee in the 90s we would try to do it during practice with hilarious results as it just looked like we were jumping and throwing the ball. Tony Gonzales emulated Harper in college and kept doing it in the NFL.
I think celebrating in the end zone should be illegal....Just imagine if a baseball player started dancing every time he crossed the plate!!!!!! Its EMBARRASSING!!!!!!
I think a good thing to do with out the coin toss, is do what they do in basketball. that is the home team decides weather they want to kick or receive. In basketball, the home team decides which basket to go off of first
Coin toss: A limit of six per team, and they do not have to be in uniform. Can have less than six. In the Seattle/Pittsburgh game 10/17/21 for the overtime flip, Russell Wilson made the call wearing a sweatshirt, as he is injured. He was accompanied by the third-string quarterback Jake Luton, who was in uniform.
One of the rarer rules that exist at all levels - high school through pro - is the "Free Kick After Fair Catch" rule. If all the conditions are met, you can kick a field goal while making the defense line up 10 yards from the ball per free kick (i.e. kickoff) rules. Conditions: The ball must have been just legally fair-caught by the receiving team; The receiving team must then inform the officials of their intent to use the provisions of this rule; The ball may be placed anywhere between the hashmarks at the fair-catch yardline; The ball cannot be on a tee - therefore there must be a holder; The defense must be at least 10 yards from the ball prior to and at the time it is kicked; If the ball goes through the uprights, it is 3 points. If not, then the normal rules for field goal attempts resume.
I don't know all of those rules, I almost exclusively watch CFL and we don't have some of the stranger of the rules this guy talked about. Though we also have our own different rules you NFL fans may find strange.
Re Coin Toss and perceived advantage: There is none. You seem to have forgotten that there are defensive players on the field too. If your defense isn't good enough to keep the other guys off the scoreboard on that initial drive, you probably deserve to lose the game. Obviously, they are the better team.
Ridiculous. That's like saying there's no advantage in being the first player to go in Chess because the second player is only losing due to lack of skill. There's a similar percentage in Chess with the player who goes first winning 52-56% of the time. That's like saying there's no advantage in GO, a board game more complex than Chess. The first player has an advantage and in order to even the playing field is actually compensated for in the game. The time starts with the players who got the coin flip moving, which means the opposing team has less leeway by the end of the game. You really gotta think things through buddy.
@@jablanguado7738 First, let me thank you for your gratuitous advice at the end of your reply - don't know how I survived this long without it. Ignoring the plethora of differences, football vs, chess and GO, it's a fact that many NFL teams have a better defense than offense. I don't know what team you root for (I assume there is one), but do you assume that the other team will score most of the time on every possession? If not, why would you make that assumption in overtime? It's axiomatic that, in the NFL and in winner-take-all games, defense wins (the last super bowl is one of the better examples). The only reason that teams tend to go on offense upon winning the OT coin flip is the element of chance (a tipped ball or defensive slip and fall for instance - a likelihood not seen in board games) If they don't score, they punt and put the defense to work. I still insist that, statistically, the better defense wins.
Overtime solution. Regular season, two periods of four minutes each. Each team kicking off once per period, result to be determined at the end of the two periods, PATs to be attempted. For playoffs, if it's still level after eight minutes, then they keep going to next score, periods of four minutes each. There aren't too many games that would need that that third period. Also, I'd have the same spot for the 2 point conversion and the PAT. It would make faking it more appealing.
The old sudden-death overtime rule was fine. Now you have more games ending in ties, and tired players out on the field longer risking injiury, all because the league decided that OT couldn't end on an opening-drive field goal. If you lose the toss, then your defense just needs to keep the other team out of field goal range. Simple as that.
Bengals dropped kicked the feild goal in the super bowl, the 49ers called time out cause they didnt know what to do. neither did the ref, they had to ask sam wyche
Is giving the team who loses the coin toss a chance to win the game on the field less fair than declaring outright that the team who wins the toss the winner?
If anything the NFL should welcome dunking as a celebration, especially if the player does end up bending the goal post. Why? What does it mean in practice for the NFL? Extra time for in-game commercials...
