NFL owners approved a variety of rules changes Tuesday, including a modification of the dynamic kickoff that will place the ball after touchbacks at the 35-yard line and a tweak to the regular-season overtime period to mirror postseason rules, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday.
The kickoff proposal, submitted by the competition committee, was broken into two parts by owners Tuesday.
While owners approved moving the touchback spot from the 30-yard line to the 35-yard line, proposed changes to offside kick rules were tabled by owners for more discussion at meetings scheduled for May. The committee had proposed some mild alignment tweaks and also suggested eliminating the requirement that onside kicks can occur only in the fourth quarter.
