After Further Review is a deeper look at plays or stats after Vikings games…
There were nine rule changes approved by the NFL Competition Committee at the Annual League Meeting this spring, and a handful showed up in the Vikings preseason opener against the Bengals on Friday against Cincinnati.
One rule change that could significantly impact all games is placement of the ball at the 25-yard line for a touchback after kickoffs or free kicks after safeties. The previous placement was the 20-yard line, and teams are experimenting with kicking the ball higher but shorter to try to pin teams inside the 25.
