NFL Onside Kick Rule Change Proposal Reportedly Gaining Support Around League

There is reportedly growing support around the NFL for a proposed rule change that would give teams an alternative to the onside kick.

Per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the proposal would give teams a chance to maintain possession by going for it on a fourth-and-15 from their own 25-yard line instead.

Pelissero noted teams wouldn't be allowed to do this more than two times per game if the rule is changed.
