4th-and-20 Onside Kick Alternative Among 2023 NFL Rule Change Proposals

Onside kicks could be a thing of the past if one proposed rule goes into effect in the NFL.

On Monday, the league shared the possible changes that were submitted by teams ahead of the 2023 season. The Philadelphia Eagles proposed allowing the kicking team to convert a 4th-and-20 from its own 20-yard line instead of an onside kick following a score.

The XFL has already put a similar rule into effect, increasing the calls for the NFL to adopt the innovation.
