Thursday marked the beginning of the first official preseason week of the year across the NFL, and we had the Hall of Fame Game happened last week, which means that soon enough we are going to have a ton of data and information on the new kickoff rule and format.
The HOF game provided an opportunity to see the new kickoff in some level of action. While there were no returns creating a significant boost for the Houston Texans or Chicago Bears, the more we see it the more we are going to understand it and be able to identify potential advantages and pitfalls.
