The NFL Pro Bowl is more than an opportunity for the league’s top talent to showcase their skills, it’s also a chance for potential rule changes to be tested in a game-day atmosphere.
Two potential rule changes will be tested at this year’s NFL Pro Bowl in Orlando, per NFL Operations.
The first involves two options after a successful field goal or try attempt in lieu of a kickoff. The second relates to negating false starts on a flinch by a flexed receiver.
Here’s a look at the language of the two new proposed rule changes. More in-depth explanations and notes can be found at the Football Operations website.
