With the touchbacks now coming out to the 25, it's a perfect time to look back to another rule change from the 1990s that had a massive impact on Green Bay's Super Bowl victory.
In 1996, a young Adam Vinatieri entered the NFL as a kicker for the New England Patriots. Vinatieri is as close to a legendary field goal kicker as there is, based mostly on his clutch, bad-weather kicking during the heyday of the Patriots' dynasty. But this isn't about field goal kicking. This is about kickoffs and how small rule changes can have huge impacts on NFL seasons.
