Assessment of NFL's New Kickoff Format

The NFL introduced a new kickoff format aimed at enhancing player safety while maintaining excitement in games. In a recent preseason Hall of Fame game between the Bears and Texans, there were eight kickoffs, yet only one touchback occurred, a significant decrease from last season's 73% rate. Analysis from players like Bears wide receiver Tyler Scott indicated that this new format could potentially provide better protection for players during returns. The dialogue suggested that while the format appears gimmicky, its implementation could lead to exciting gameplay and the revival of kickoff returns, allowing for strategic plays from teams.
