JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- It's going to take a while before everyone in the NFL is comfortable and confident about the new kickoff rules.
That includes the officials.
There was some confusion about a kickoff during the Jacksonville Jaguars' 26-13 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday night. Originally ruled a touchback, the call was overturned after a lengthy discussion and stood as a safety for the Jaguars.
Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson called the situation a teaching moment for the entire league and was pleased that while it took a while, the correct call was eventually made.
