NFL owners approve new 2021 rules for replay, onside kicks

[RealSNR]

So does that mean any time a ball is kicked the receiving team can't have more than 9 players within 25 yards?

That's the only way I can envision this working out seamlessly to allow for fake kickoffs and such. If it means a different formation depending on whether or not the kicking team is attempting an onside kick, there dies another part of the game we all love.

At least they're not doing that reeruned "You can attempt to convert a 4th and 15!" thing. That would have been such a clunky rule. I don't care if the Chiefs would have gained from it. It makes zero ****ing sense.
