NFL Welcomes Exciting Rule Change: Players and Fans Rejoice

By | Bullscore 29 Mar, 2023

The NFL’s annual meetings have produced a fun rule change that both players and fans will love. During this time, important people from each team gather to discuss possible NFL rule changes, even though it’s a quiet period for roster decisions.

These meetings offer a chance for general managers and coaches to chat about what rules could be improved. Last year, they made a change to how overtimes work in playoff games. This year, a new rule has many players and fans excited.

Usually, the Competition Committee’s proposals have the best chance of being accepted. However, this time, the Philadelphia Eagles suggested a rule change that got enough votes. The new rule allows players to wear the number 0 on their jerseys, except for offensive and defensive linemen.

Other proposed rule changes didn’t make it. For example, they considered making roughing the passer calls reviewable and allowing a third quarterback for emergencies on game days. These proposals didn’t pass, but the number 0 rule change has players and fans looking forward to the next NFL season.
