NFL Competition Committee keeps new helmet rule in effect, no changes implemented

At the beginning of August, the National Football League implemented a new helmet rule to help combat the problem with concussions. But, the newly formed rule has generated a lot of controversy around the league.

It looks like the rule is here to stay and with no change.

The NFL Competition Committee met Wednesday, and Executive Vice President of Football Operations Troy Vincent released a statement hours later after the meeting concluded, saying there will be no adjustments to the rule.

Vincent released this statement:

The NFL Competition Committee met today by conference call to discuss the new use of the helmet rule through the first two weeks of the season.
