NFL to Propose Rule Change on Intentional Grounding Calls After High Rate in 2023

The NFL is prepared to propose a rule change on intentional grounding ahead of the 2024 season.

The league intends to propose a rule change on intentional grounding penalties after calls were up during the 2023 season, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The proposal would be "aimed at reducing fouls and protecting QBs," Pelissero added.

Intentional grounding was called 59 times last season, per Pelissero.
