Chiefs’ Andy Reid supports NFL’s new kickoff proposal

On Monday, the NFL’s owners will vote on a revised version of the new kickoff proposal created by the league’s Competition Committee.

When that group met once again on Sunday, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported that it unanimously approved a revision to the rule that had been presented: if a kickoff overshoots the “landing zone” between the goal line and the 20-yard line, it will be placed at the 30-yard line instead of the 35.

The NFL competition committee met today and unanimously approved a tweak to the proposed NFL Hybrid Kickoff rule, making touchbacks that go into the end zone on the fly come out to the 30-yard line, rather than the 35, per source.
