Show Notes

NFL owners have introduced significant rule changes for the 2026 season, focusing on safety and fairness. Onside kicks can now be attempted at any time, touchbacks on kickoffs are moved back to the twenty-yard line, and kickoff alignments are adjusted to reduce collisions. Officiating will have more power to review and penalize flagrant fouls. Teams playing international games in week one will have roster flexibility, and players on the physically unable to perform list can practice after the second game. These changes aim to streamline the season and add excitement to close calls.
