NFL tables 4th-and-15 alternative onside kick proposal; approves four others

NFL owners tabled a vote on a proposal for an alternative onside kick — which
would instead allow a fourth-and-15 opportunity — at Thursday’s virtual
league meeting, according to multiple reports.

The league announced four rules changes that did pass Thursday, but the
onside-kick alternative reportedly did not have sufficient support.

The MMQB reported there was a vote that did not pass. The NFL Network reported
there was no official vote, but a virtual show of hands indicated there was
not enough support to garner the necessary 24 of 32 votes.
