The recent rules change to set the Touchback starting line to the 25-yard line would have hurt Josh Lambo last year.
The NFL recently announced a 1-year trial rule change that would have touchbacks brought out to the 25-yard line, instead of the previous 20-yard line. This is not good news for Josh Lambo, who impressed coaches enough with booming leg to supplant Nick Novak as the starting Kicker for the 2015 season. Below you will see a record of all of his Kickoffs from last season:
