ORLANDO, Fla. -- NFL owners approved a massive revamp of the kickoff play Tuesday, opting, after three days of discussions at the league's annual meeting, for a format that originated in the XFL.
The proposal passed by a vote of 29-3, NFL competition chairman Rich McKay said Tuesday. A proposal needs approval by 24 of the 32 owners to pass.
"We feel this is a great day for the NFL," New Orleans Saints special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi, who worked closely on the proposal, said Tuesday.
