NFL Punts Onside Kick Rule Change

Excited for 4th and 15 onside kicks?

Sorry to dash your hopes but that doesn’t seem likely to happen. The NFL voted down the proposed rule change today and though it could be reexamined later on, the odds of that occurring are as low as recovering an actual onside kick.

Per MMQB’s Albert Breer.

Per source, the onside kick proposal did NOT pass.

This one did go to vote, by the way, and was voted down. So it's possible it comes back to life down the line, but it's a no for now.
