NFL owners approve big rule changes for 2025: Kickoff and overtime to be modified, ‘Tush Push’ ban tabled
the American Football Association It will look a little different in 2025 after 32 league owners agreed to many changes in the main base at the annual league meeting on Tuesday.
One of the rules that will not change now is the “deadly batch”. Its owners were expected to vote on a possible ban on the play, but talking about matters, a decision was taken to direct the conversation until the next league meeting in May. CBS SPORTS NFL Insider Jonathan Jones I mentioned that the 32 American Football Association team It was divided exactly below the center with 16 teams that oppose the ban. The proposal needs 24 votes, so if the “mid -payment” is banned, eight other teams will have to change their opinion about the play.
Not surprisingly, Eagles Coach Nick Seraiani led the difference in the hope of maintaining the “deadly batch”. If you want to know where the other teams fell into the discussion, We have that here.
With the “dark batch” outside the road, let’s take a look at some of the biggest changes that were voted at the meeting:
Changing the additional work is coming for the normal season
American Football Association The owners voted to align the rules of additional work in the normal season, closely With the rules of additional work after the season. Under the post -season OT rules, the length of the period is 15 minutes and both teams guarantee possession, even if the team that gets the ball records a decline.
Both teams will be guaranteed during the extra time in the normal season, but the OT period will be only 10 minutes. Under the base of the previous ordinary season, the team that won the ball first can win the game by registering a decline in his first possession, but this is no longer the case
The touch will move to the 35 yard line
Under the base last year, the touch was in a 30 yard line, but starting from the 2025 season, Will Touchback It is transferred to the 35 yard line. The change is made in the hope that the kick team will simply run the ball from the end area at the beginning, knowing that the return team will automatically get the ball in the 35 yard line. Getting the ball in 35 is huge, because this means that the team will need to get 20 to 25 yards to reach the scope of field goals. The internal data of the periodic shows a rate of return from 65 % to 75 % if the touch is transferred to 35, i.e. more than twice the rate of 2024 season.
There was also a suggestion that would have allowed to attempted side kicks by a losing team at any time in the game (instead of the fourth quarter), but this proposal was made.

Help can now help help in more penalties
With the owners Approval of expanding restart assistanceFive new penalties can now be rejected by a kiosk: hitting an insulation player, facial mask, treating people with wooden collars, stumbling, roughness/jogging in Kicker. One of the prominent aspects of this proposal is that restarting assistance will not require unnamed penalties in the field. For example, if a clear face mask is missed in the field, it is not possible to help return to the return and the judgment is to throw a penalty kick in the play. However, if the facial mask science is thrown on a play in which the facial mask is not a penalty, the Arday can be resisted to capture the flag. The American Football Association limits the scope of restarting assistance For objective penalties It can be caught with “clear and clear” video evidence.
Flexibility rules for night games Thursday to undergo a slight change
Over the past two years, the American Football Association has been able to bend any match on Thursday night that was held between the two weeks 13 and the 17th week, but the league had to make a 28 -day notice. However, this is no longer the case. The owners voted to reduce this number to 21 days, which means that the American Football Association can now wait for a longer period before deciding whether to get a game Thursday. Our Full details about this new policy here.
The American Football Association amends a Unified Policy
If you like terrorist shirts, you will desirable this new policy: American Football Association teams They can now wear their apostasy or an alternative uniform, a total of four times in the season. Under the previous policy, this number was only three. The teams will now be allowed to wear their alternative pants in the post -season, which was not allowed under old policy. Another thing that has been approved is that the teams will be able to wear their alternative helmet in its normal dress. You can Check our full story about the unified changes here.
The first electronic landing will be measured
The chain gang can be extinct soon. The US Football Association announced that the league will use Sony’s Hawk-Eye technology as a basic way to measure the first landing in 2025. The American Football Association The system was tested in 2024 The league is now comfortable to use it full, according to Troy Vincent, Executive Vice President of Football Football Association
“The US Football Association and Sony are integrated with a global level in the field of modern technology to advance football,” Vincent said. “The combination of the art of liquidation and the trusted falcon hawk system from Sony is a healthy recipe for success in our commitment to raising the standards of accuracy, consistency and efficiency. It restores technology and visions that depend on data from Sony innovations, help us to advance our efforts towards the future of football.”
Although the chain gang is replaced, it will not disappear yet. The chain gang in this field will remain in 2025 to serve as a backup crew in the event of any problems in the new technology.
A proposal to change the liquidation format is offered
Under this suggestion, the land card team can be higher than its winning team in the department if the burning cards team has a better record. All the winners of the department will remain guaranteed on a watershed, but they will not guarantee a separate match at home. If this rule is valid last season, 14-3 Vikings The third seeds could be in NFC instead of the fifth seeds. Apparently, I love a few teams this idea. Instead of voting on it, the owners decided to put it until the next league meeting in May, so that he could approve it. Jones I noticed that the difference is more than you think They were open to it.
The next league meeting in the US Football Association is May 20-21 in Minnesota, so if there is a vote on the coordination of the new qualifying seed or the “deadly batch”, then this is the time when it will take place.
The US Football Association also released some of the declarations that did not include any changes in the base and one of the 2025 timetable. The league revealed that there will be a Christmas head trilogy in 2025. The holiday, which was on Thursday this year, will include two games on Netflix and one on Amazon.
