NFL owners to mull 19 rule changes at annual league meeting
NFL owners arrived in Boca Raton, Florida on Sunday for the start of the league’s annual meeting, which runs until Wednesday. The competition committee will review 19 proposals to modify the playing rules — which includes nine from the committee and 10 from various teams.
Perhaps the biggest change that could be coming? A player will be ejected if they are penalized twice in the same game for specific types of unsportsmanlike conduct.
If the new proposal is adopted, a player would be ejected if they are penalized twice for any of the following infractions:
* Throwing a punch, or a forearm, or kicking at an opponent, even though no contact is made.
