NFL Owners Pass New Targeting Rule; Plays May Be Reviewable in New York

NFL owners passed a rule regarding targeting Tuesday.

According to the Washington Post's Mark Maske, the new rule states players will be penalized 15 yards if they lower their helmets to initiate contact. Officials will reportedly be able to eject players if they deem the foul severe enough.

The initial interpretation of the rule states officials will not review the fouls, but that is subject to change.
