NFL expects fewer kickoff returns with new fair catch rule inside 25
NFL
Green Bay Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon (25) runs back a kickoff for a touchdown during a game against the Minnesota Vikings Sunday, Jan. 1, 2023, in Green Bay, Wis. The NFL has pushed the kickoff return further toward irrelevance with a priority on player safety. League owners voted Tuesday, May 23, 2023, for a one-year trial of an enhanced touchback rule that will give the receiving team the ball at its own 25 with a fair catch of a kickoff anywhere behind that yard line.
