Who cares, we keep going to the playoffs and the coots keep watching us on TV play in them.

Fair Catch on the Kickoff

The kickoff return continues to be the play with the highest risk of head injuries, and there have been a number of rule changes in recent years intended to provide incentives for a team not to return the kickoff. One such rule was made in 2013: after a touchback on the kickoff, the ball is brought out to the 25-yard linerather than the standard 20. In response, some kickers have perfected the art of the "pooch kick," lofting the ball deep in the receiving team's space in an attempt to pin them down with poor field position or effectively force a return.

To counter this trend, the committee this year created a new rule: if a kickoff receiver makes a fair catch inside his 20-yard line, his team will have the ball at the 25-yard line - just as if the ball had been caught and downed inside the end zone for a touchback. So for example, if a receiving team player makes a fair catch of a kickoff at his 5-yard or 10-yard line, his team will put the ball in play at the 25. The hope is that this change will encourage teams to take advantage of the better field position rather than return the kick.
