When two players who aren’t known for dancing and demonstrations after big plays provided a nod of approval for the NFL’s loosening of celebration restrictions, the league is on to something.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced in a memo Tuesday that the league is “relaxing our rules on celebrations to allow players more room to have fun after they make big plays.”
The change was one of a handful announced by the league. NFL owners voted in favor of reducing overtime from a 15-minute period to 10 minutes. Had that rule been in place last year, the Chiefs wouldn’t have won in Denver.
