Only in the NFL could this congress of stuffed-shirt actuary wannabes throw together and implement something as abhorrent as reviewable pass interference and then table something as sensible as the fourth-and-15 onside kick proposal, which effectively died on the vine during Thursday’s league meetings according to our Albert Breer.
For those who may have missed it amid the endless blizzard of actual horrifying, stupefying and consequential news, the league went into Thursday’s virtual gathering with momentum gaining behind a proposal from the Philadelphia Eagles that would tack on to Rule 6, Article 1, Section 1, allowing trailing teams to attempt a fourth-and-15 conversion from their own 25-yard line after scoring a touchdown in lieu of an onside kick.
