A rule change that was massive to me was Kenny Pickett's Fake Slide in the ACC Championship Game which exposed a loophole so bad in the rules, that both College Football and the NFL had to put a hotfox rule in, just so it couldn't be abused
I feel like QBs are still too protected when running. They can't fake slide anymore but they can still go for the sideline and bait a tackle only to step out of bounds and gain extra penalty yards.
Isaac, you are Mr Punts! How can you leave off the most famous rule change on punt plays?!? Intentional mass holding to drain the clock while the punter does his best to not get tackled and eventually get a safety if needed. The rules were changed to stop this.
@@IsaacPuntsTime for a 2nd video maybe? I also remember a rule change on where ineligable receivers can line up. The pats used a formation a few times in a game against the ravens that lined up ineligable people out at wideout.
The pre-merger AFL also had the 2 point conversion for the entire 1960s. The highest scoring tie in NFL history was a 43-43 game between the Oakland Raider and Boston Patriots, and it was made possible because the Raiders failed a 2 point conversion to up 7, then the Patriots made a 2 point conversion to go up 3, then the Raiders tied it up with a late field goal.
Funny thing about that bills chiefs OT rule change. Chiefs tried to do that back when they lost to the patriots in OT in the 2018 season for the exact same reason, and got shut down. One of the teams that shot down the proposal? The bills lol
What’s even funnier is that the game has been moved to offense over defense..The Bills basically cried about a call that should’ve never been changed because as the old saying goes defense wins championships..All the Bills had to do was hold KC to a FG and they would’ve got the ball back
Came on to make the same point. Why it was seen as such an injustice to the Bill's, yet hardly a peep was heard when the Chiefs were the victim a year earlier really bugs me.
@@shinsukecorbin425 Bills didn't even propose the vote for the rule change. It was the Colts and the Eagles. So all this "crying" you say the Bills did didn't happen. Just do 2 seconds of research.
The change to kick-off rules not allowing the kicking team to get a running start has mostly killed the onside kick. No individual play is at fault, but obviously concussions are a big factor. The fumblerooskie play that made yards gained after a fumble invalid is a big one that comes to mind. "Disconcerting signals" is a fun one too - I'm sure it must have a back story.
@@patrickdare5356 I quite like the idea of giving teams a 4th and 10 on their own 40 or 35 after they score - of course it's a punt by default, but a team could treat it like a high risk 4th down play as an option.
John Harbaugh shaking his head in bewilderment after Belichick once again outmaneuvers him with an additional lineman as an eligible receiver is one of my favorites
It wasn't an additional lineman. It was Shane Vereen (running back) lined up as an ineligible slot receiver on the scrimmage line. That allowed the offensive tackle on the opposite side to be eligible. But yeah, Harbaugh freaked out and didn't know what to do.
As a Long Snapper I can assure you that banning players being able to leap over the line on PATs/XPs is ABSOLUTELY a player safety thing. If someone trips over the snapper and falls on them, or slams them into the ground that could, and probably would, break their neck or at the very least cause some moderate injury. We’re in such a compromised position when snapping the ball I’m all for any rule change that gives us more protection against serious injuries.
I love how noone mentions the fact that the previous year the Chiefs lost to the Patriots in the AFC Championship after the Pats won the toss in overtime and scored a touchdown.
The funny thing about the OT rule is that it was the Chiefs who had previously conceived a proposal to fix the rule. And you wanna guess which team played a big role in it being turned down?
Really interesting stuff! If you ever so a sequel to this video Id love you to mention the Ravens intentional saftey play where they intentionally get flagged for holding on the defense. They did it twice in 2012 before the league changed it and it was one most hilarious and creative calls I've ever seen
2 point conversions were allowed under the AFL rules in the 1960s, before the AFL - NFL merger eliminated them. I would say that the rules differences in the AFL were the same level of rules differences as the MLB had between the AL and NL up until the 2022 CBA, that is to say that most people usually count the games played in the AFL as an independent organization to be equally as valid for stats/records as NFL games during that time period.
Yeah, it should have at least been alluded to, in the vid, even if technically speaking it took the above game to finally get the league to tidy up the rule.
4:25 winner of that game went to the AFCCG, not the Super bowl that year. That same rule DID change the outcome of a championship game a few years before, where the Patriots beat the Chiefs in 2018 when KC never saw the ball in OT. Chiefs proposed the rule change and the Bills were one of the teams who declined- all worth noting, I think.
Holy Roller rule: "If a fumble by either team occurs after the two minute warning...The player who fumbled is the only player of his team who is permitted to recover and advance the ball."
The fumble rule. Because of the "forward fumble" play by Kenny Stabler and the Raiders in the early 70s, the NFL made the rule that if the offense fumbles (I think in the last 2 minutes only, or maybe it has been expanded), only the player who fumbles the ball can advance it. Therefore, if the QB fumbles the ball, a lineman can't pick it up and advance it.
Fun fact, in the CFL, if you score a TD, you MUST go for two in OT, there is no PAT in OT. In addition the ball is placed on the opponent’s 35yrd line so they’re already in FG range. I’d HIGHLY recommend checking out the CFL, season goes from June to November, and IMO has better rules than the NFL. CFL also just needs more viewership.
@@TheForeverRanger Tbf it was very different scenarios. Belichick did it to show a point and even said it was a stupid loophole that should be closed after the game. Vrabel did it to prevent scoring and win a game.
The AFL in the 60s also had the two point conversion, but it wasn't adopted during the merger. Also, prior to it's adoption a team could still attempt an offensive play for 1 point.
Nobody talks about how the Cheifs went into OT against the Bengals after the Bills game, won the coin toss, and lost because the Bengals played defense
Yes but both teams were able to have an offensive drive. I don't think important games should ever just come down to one side of the ball, one way or the other.
@@IsaacPunts An even better example: no one talks about how the Chiefs lost the exact same way to the Patriots in the AFC Championship game in the 2018-2019 season, and no rule changes were discussed. No one even really complained. As soon as it happened to the Bills a few years later, everyone was up in arms.
@@ArtisticallySavvyPhotography I know the Bills actually were against the rule change. Probably knew they were cursed to have it bite them in the future
@@paulfish6644No, we tried to get the rule changed but the NFL didn’t want to change it back then. So I had 0 sympathy for the Bills when we beat them.
The Bills weren't the only team that had complaints about the overtime possession rules; the Chiefs and Falcons had a beef about that in previous years. Also, the AFL had the 2-pt conversion in the 60s, so in addition to the USFL and NCAA; the deuce was known to the NFL.
The Force-Out Rule: The NFL used to have a rule that allowed officials to award a completion to receivers who were jumping to make a catch on the sideline and were pushed out of bounds by the defense before coming down. It was stupid. I'm glad they got rid of it.
I know it didn't change an NFL rule per se, but the Kenny PIckett fake slide will always stand out to me as a play that IMMEDIATELY everyone knew had to be banned because it was going to get someone seriously hurt.
I love how the nfl changes OT rules over the bills game as if it had everything on the line but didnt do anything when the falcons didnt get the ball in the superbowl overtime
Per the NFL overtime rules, I have no idea why they refuse to adopt the college football overtime rules which are 100% Superior. Also I'm pretty sure the 2 point try was adopted from CFB as well. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on that.
The part with the Chiefs/Bills game is the next week, the Chiefs lost to the Bengals in OT and the Chiefs got the ball first but the Bengals got an interception. Defense matters!
What about this proposed rule? Allow the end zones to be from 10 to 20 yards deep. Keep the goal posts at the back of the end zone. This makes for more passing options in the red zone and adds more challenge to the kicking game (and allows for some additional seating $$ in new stadiums while not forcing old stadiums to change). Baseball stadiums are of different sizes/shapes and it works just fine. At times even causing some teams to adapt their style/players to their home field where they play half their games.
The Bills somehow whined so much they got the overtime rules changed. Even though the Chiefs had lost the 2018 AFC championship game the exact same way to the Patriots, and the week after the Chiefs-Bills divisional game, the Bengals beat the Chiefs in overtime because they could actually play defense and stopped the Chiefs on their first OT possession. The rules only weren't fair when the Bills were involved, apparently.
4:29 correction: they were going to the AFC Championship. This was the 2021-2022 season. The following week, the Bengals would beat the Chiefs 27 to 24 in overtime to go to the Super Bowl (which they then lost 23-20 to the Rams. Eli Apple)
The overtime rule change was brought up by the chiefs after the pats overtime loss at the afc championship that took brady to his last superbowl as a patriot, and every nfl team refused and the chiefs were called sore losers, but the moment it happens in thier favor the whole nfl freaks out
Patriots v Falcons Super Bowl also was won by a single possession TD in OT. That rule was so stupid I don’t understand why anyone ever thought it was a good Idea
At some point the blockers for most teams stopped blocking normally and did the "hold your ground while leaning over" manuever that all of those replays here showed (one we were taught in the '70s in high school football note), making it much easier to hurdle them. I recall one college team tho that had a lineman with a rubber mat on his back inside his jersey, and a teammate would use his back as a launching pad; that got quashed quickly as well.
So the Eagles wanted leaping changed because of potential injury but shoving someone in the back and pretty much packing him into the trench like a Japanese metro is no risk?
It did touch the ground, after his third step, switching the ball from his left hand to his right hand, and leap toward the pylon. That is why the ball moved slightly.
@@Michael-sb8jf yes, you could kneel before the meadowlands, but the QB wouldn't be down until someone touched them, so the ball could still be stripped. After the meadowlands the QB was down when he kneeled
The Tuck Rule did go against the Patriots some years earlier (Jets game?) But it a..yeah, you guessed it...Kansas City Chiefs game for it to be cancelled! 😅😅😅
In my opinion the 28-3 superbowl is what started the conversation to change the OT rules A bit biased but as a Pats fan, people hate seeing the pats win and james white cashing that "anticlimactic " TD to seal the deal pissed people off
Leaping over snapper is banned for a good reason. He is in vunerable position after snapping and has no way to protect himself if opponent leaps over him.
In regards to the Chiefs and bills game. Kansas City actually did not go to the Super Bowl that year. They would lose to Cincinnati the following week in overtime. The cheese got the ball first however they turned the ball over and Cincinnati won on a field goal.
I mean, they technically changed the rule, but they sabotaged the reviews so they could change it back, so it's not like it actually changed anything longterm.
The Bills crying they lost because of the OT rule they didn't want changed when it screwed the Chiefs over is such delicious karma. Also interesting how the Eagles wanted a rule change under the guise of player safety while defending the tush push which is far more likely to cause injury is predictable.
2:30 - 3:00 : Uhhh, yeah, I'd always be legitimately concerned for the player's safety whenever someone leap frogged over the center to try to block a field goal. What are you on about with this, "under the guise of player safety", nonsense? It poses a risk to not only the center getting kicked in the face, forcing them to duck down (otherwise, most of the time random players would attempt it, especially inexperienced ones, they WOULD be kicked in the face, at least eventually), and as they mentioned in their statement, they were concerned about it being a possibly hazard. Not to mention all of the times that a player would rough the kicker or the holder, whether they meant to or not. The special teams defensive line shouldn't be subject to that, especially not the center, but it also could, and usually did, influence the nearby players to also get out of the way, rather than doing that thing they get paid for: blocking/defending. I admit, I also loved seeing it happen, though. I totally get that, and as you said, it was a risk/reward type scenario. However, I don't believe that it's because it changed the outcome of a game on an extra point attempt (even though I'm sure that probably played a part to the change, don't get me wrong - I'd be mad as hell if I were in not only the fan's shoes in that situation, but also the player's point of view). Though, who knows? Maybe that was all there was to it, but you have to also recognize that just because it hadn't caused a major injury, at least not yet, that it doesn't mean we should just wait until it becomes a tragedy, either. Anyways, regardless, I do agree with the fact that it was definitely the NFL covering their ass...ets, but to say that it flat out was of absolutely zero danger or risk to player safety is kind of short sighted, at least in my honest opinion. The league aren't always the bad guys we make them out to be, though, as well, but hey, it's not like I'd know personally, and that's really besides the point, other than just stating that they may have done at least this with sincere consideration to the players' well being... at least I'd like to hope so. Sincerely, Ben P.S. - Yes, I am an Eagles fan, and we love that other fanbases hate us, but this is entirely irrelevant to my comment. Just figured I'd add it in so I could get people to reply to this comment with "Ugh, typical Eagles fan", or something to that effect. 😆
I honestly think the one rule that didn't make the cut (because the video pre-dates it) is our new kickoff rule. Taking away the option for the surprise on-side kick. After watching a few games with it.. I think they should just kill what they've wanted to kill for years and just give the receiving team the ball at the 25 and move on. Why waste everyones time.
I absolutely despise the new overtime rule. The idea of it isn't fair if only one of the teams might get the chance possess the ball is ridiculous. They had 60 minutes the game to outscore the other team. What are they going to do next, give the other team a another possession after one team makes the go ahead score as time runs out? That's just stupid and that's a hill ready to die on.
I don't think they should have changed the rule to make the Dez play a catch. I remember watching that game live and wondering why it was controversial... sure, it sucked for the Cowboys, but it didn’t seem wrong to me.

@@Michael-sb8jf yes, you could kneel before the meadowlands, but the QB wouldn't be down until someone touched them, so the ball could still be stripped. After the meadowlands the QB was down when he kneeled
The Tuck Rule did go against the Patriots some years earlier (Jets game?) But it a..yeah, you guessed it...Kansas City Chiefs game for it to be cancelled! 😅😅😅
3:41 were all going to just forget that Mahomes lost to Brady the year before in OT without even touching the ball himself? Crazy!
Wouldn’t fit the chiefs haters narrative 😂
Stop blocking the play with text boxes!
In my opinion the 28-3 superbowl is what started the conversation to change the OT rules
A bit biased but as a Pats fan, people hate seeing the pats win and james white cashing that "anticlimactic " TD to seal the deal pissed people off
Leaping over snapper is banned for a good reason. He is in vunerable position after snapping and has no way to protect himself if opponent leaps over him.
In regards to the Chiefs and bills game. Kansas City actually did not go to the Super Bowl that year. They would lose to Cincinnati the following week in overtime. The cheese got the ball first however they turned the ball over and Cincinnati won on a field goal.
Man didn't even mention the Calvin Johnson rule
Not having the Saints no call is crazy in my eyes
I mean, they technically changed the rule, but they sabotaged the reviews so they could change it back, so it's not like it actually changed anything longterm.
The Bills crying they lost because of the OT rule they didn't want changed when it screwed the Chiefs over is such delicious karma. Also interesting how the Eagles wanted a rule change under the guise of player safety while defending the tush push which is far more likely to cause injury is predictable.
Hotfixed this bug 😭
Bengals Vs Ravens when they held all the defensive players on the last play of the game to run the clock out and win.
Why not bring up the saints rams PI rule?
2:30 - 3:00 : Uhhh, yeah, I'd always be legitimately concerned for the player's safety whenever someone leap frogged over the center to try to block a field goal. What are you on about with this, "under the guise of player safety", nonsense? It poses a risk to not only the center getting kicked in the face, forcing them to duck down (otherwise, most of the time random players would attempt it, especially inexperienced ones, they WOULD be kicked in the face, at least eventually), and as they mentioned in their statement, they were concerned about it being a possibly hazard. Not to mention all of the times that a player would rough the kicker or the holder, whether they meant to or not. The special teams defensive line shouldn't be subject to that, especially not the center, but it also could, and usually did, influence the nearby players to also get out of the way, rather than doing that thing they get paid for: blocking/defending.
I admit, I also loved seeing it happen, though. I totally get that, and as you said, it was a risk/reward type scenario. However, I don't believe that it's because it changed the outcome of a game on an extra point attempt (even though I'm sure that probably played a part to the change, don't get me wrong - I'd be mad as hell if I were in not only the fan's shoes in that situation, but also the player's point of view). Though, who knows? Maybe that was all there was to it, but you have to also recognize that just because it hadn't caused a major injury, at least not yet, that it doesn't mean we should just wait until it becomes a tragedy, either.
Anyways, regardless, I do agree with the fact that it was definitely the NFL covering their ass...ets, but to say that it flat out was of absolutely zero danger or risk to player safety is kind of short sighted, at least in my honest opinion. The league aren't always the bad guys we make them out to be, though, as well, but hey, it's not like I'd know personally, and that's really besides the point, other than just stating that they may have done at least this with sincere consideration to the players' well being... at least I'd like to hope so.
Sincerely,
Ben
P.S. - Yes, I am an Eagles fan, and we love that other fanbases hate us, but this is entirely irrelevant to my comment. Just figured I'd add it in so I could get people to reply to this comment with "Ugh, typical Eagles fan", or something to that effect. 😆
low hits on the QB... aka..the kimo von olhaufen (sp?) rule... tore up carson palmer's knee in wild card round of steelers SB run
I honestly think the one rule that didn't make the cut (because the video pre-dates it) is our new kickoff rule. Taking away the option for the surprise on-side kick. After watching a few games with it.. I think they should just kill what they've wanted to kill for years and just give the receiving team the ball at the 25 and move on. Why waste everyones time.
As a Packers fan, well, you know what rule…. But I did find an interview where A. Rodgers said that he thought it was a catch
the kenny pickett fake slide has to be here
Where was the Holy Roller play and rule change?
Might as well make OT like college football, but teams start at midfield.
The Chiefs did NOT end the 2021 season with a Super Bowl appearance. They lost the AFC Championship game to the Bengals that season.
Leaping is illegal for defense yet we're celebrating saquons backwards hurdle
Overloading one side on an onside kick.
That bills game hurt me and I’m not even a bills fan
Why wouldn't it be the same rule for out of bounds why does it need to be 3 steps??
Tackling the qb so now you can't touch the qb
I absolutely despise the new overtime rule. The idea of it isn't fair if only one of the teams might get the chance possess the ball is ridiculous. They had 60 minutes the game to outscore the other team. What are they going to do next, give the other team a another possession after one team makes the go ahead score as time runs out? That's just stupid and that's a hill ready to die on.
Pittsburgh got screwed by the catch rule.
I don't think they should have changed the rule to make the Dez play a catch. I remember watching that game live and wondering why it was controversial... sure, it sucked for the Cowboys, but it didn’t seem wrong to me.
Ummm what about troy palamalu
Lyle alzado rule. Not allowed to use someone's helmet as a weapon
Deacon Jones rule, head slaps were outlawed.
We need to bring back sudden death ot
