NFL Rule Change Results in Record-Low Kickoff Returns in Week 1 of 2023 Season

NFL kickoff returns are increasingly becoming a thing of the past. Just 20.5 percent of kickoffs were returned in Week 1 action, which is the lowest rate on…

Why bother even having kickoffs if every kick is just going to sail out the endzone with no possibility of a return, or trying to pin the opposition deep? It was bad week 1, and bad again here in week 2.

Just start out from the 25 and be done with kickoffs/returns entirely, instead of this farce. “Stopgap” excuse be damned.

      Okay, LOL, fair enough. It’s a fun thought experiment, but while I wouldn’t be as upset as most I’m honestly not particularly invested in my own ideas here.

      Could be interesting for an alt- or minor league that wanted a gimmick and to put their quarterbacks even more front and center.
