When the NFL implemented the new dynamic kickoff rule, it was designed to make the play safer while also bringing one of the most electrifying plays in football back into the mix.
Through the first four weeks of the season, the play has come back in waves, but according to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, the league and its competition committee continue to work on a way to make touchbacks more disadvantageous for defenses.
Appearing on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football Tuesday, Goodell dished on the new kickoff rule, one that he’s still pleased with due to the increase in returns.
