Do you think the NFL should fix the 10-second runoff rule by reducing it to 7 seconds?

The NFL owners meetings are over and a set of new rules have been approved for the 2018 season. Not among those new rules is a change to the league’s 10-second runoff rule that cost the Detroit Lions a win against the Atlanta Falcons last season.

This week, the 10-second runoff rule wasn’t even discussed at the owners meeting. However, NFL competition committee chairman Rich McKay told the Detroit Free Press this week the league has discussed a change of the rule and should continue to do discuss things in the future.
