The NFL will try out an alternative to the onside kick at this year's Pro Bowl: A fourth-and-15 play. The league announced the initiative in a statement on Tuesday.
Essentially, scoring teams will have an opportunity to convert a fourth-and-15 from their own 25-yard line to retain the ball. If they do not convert, the opposing team will take over on the dead-ball spot.
The rule was proposed by the Denver Broncos this past offseason, but the league voted against it. Rule-change propositions must receive a supermajority among owners, 24 out of 32, in order to pass.
