Big changes could be coming to fourth down situations in the NFL. But what impact could this have on the Carolina Panthers?
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, league owners approved three rule adjustments ahead of the 2020 campaign. Another which was tabled was to “provide a fourth-and-15 alternative to the onside kick”, which did not pass the voting stage.
This would have huge ramifications on offenses across the league. Some would benefit from it more than others in the eventuality it was implemented. And the Carolina Panthers could be one of them.
