Giants news, 8/3: Officials offer insight into helmet rule

Good morning, New York Giants fans! It’s BBV meet-up day, so hopefully we will see you at Quest Diagnostics Training Center. First, some headlines.

Helmet rule discussed

Referee Jerome Boger led a four-man league officiating crew who worked practice to start a three-day visit. In separate presentations, the officials showed the players and coaches and media representatives a video highlighting NFL rules changes for 2018

The change that has received the most scrutiny is the rule that makes it illegal for a player to lower his head to initiate and make contact with the helmet on an opponent.
