The kickoff.
From the sports’ inception and its published Laws of the Game (1863) by Ebenezer Cobb Morley, the play has occurred before each and every match over the past 155 years. To some, this play has become formality, while others cherish it as the greatest play in their franchise’s history.
There has been a litany of changes to the play over the years, and in the 2018 offseason, the Competition Committee adopted seven new rule changes, which are set to be implemented this evening when the Ravens play the Bears in the Hall of Fame Game.
