NFL to vote on rule changes including kickoff, Tush Push, playoff seeding

The NFL's annual league meetings will commence on Sunday, March 30, in Palm Beach, Florida, running until April 1, where owners will vote on proposed rule changes.
The NFL competition committee added proposals, including adjusting kickoff rules and expanding video replay, aiming to increase kick returns and improve officiating.
Proposed changes include making last season's 'dynamic' kickoff format permanent with adjustments like moving touchbacks to the 35-yard line, allowing onside kicks at any point in the game if trailing, and expanding replay review to include penalties like facemask and horse collar tackles.
The Green Bay Packers proposed banning the 'tush push' play, popularized by the Philadelphia Eagles, citing player safety concerns, while the Detroit Lions proposed changing playoff seeding to prioritize teams with better records regardless of division wins, but insiders report the 'tush push' ban may lack sufficient votes.
Adoption of any rule proposal requires approval from at least 24 of the 32 NFL teams, reflecting a 75% majority vote from league owners.
