How the NFL’s new rules will impact the Broncos

The NFL Annual Meeting for owners, general managers and coaches, held this year in Boca Raton Florida, have come to an end and with that comes several rules changes for the 2016-17 NFL season.

In total, the league will use seven new rules, mostly minor tweaks to existing ones, in the coming season but three, in particular, may impact the Denver Broncos from day one. The new touchback rule, chop block rule and personal foul ejection rule will immediately change the way the Broncos conduct themselves.

The altitude has long been the friend of the Broncos, aiding them in training and adding exertion to the opposition but it was the kickers friend first and foremost.
