The NFL might fix its kickoffs in 2025

According to the Washington Post’s Mark Maske, the NFL’s competition committee is looking at moving touchbacks from the 30-yard line to the 35-yard line for the 2025 season. The 30-yard line touchback spot is new to the NFL, due to the league’s “dynamic” kickoff change, but it hasn’t dissuaded teams enough to not have them kick into or through the end zone.

Last season, the team with the highest touchback percentage was the Dallas Cowboys with an 89 percent rate. Currently, the Los Angeles Rams, the Green Bay Packers’ next opponent, are kicking touchbacks at a 95 percent rate.
