The NFL has announced that a major change in enforcing fouls on plays resulting in a change of possession has been approved by a vote of team owners. This was revealed during the league’s meeting this year.
The Competition Committee had put forth a proposal that would allow penalties for major offensive fouls, such as unnecessary roughness, to be enforced on plays when there are fouls committed by both teams before the change of possession. This was done to ensure consistency in enforcing all major fouls.
In addition to this significant change, the league also approved a proposal that would allow teams a third challenge if either of their first two challenges is successful. This move aims to give teams more opportunities to challenge calls and ensure fair play on the field.
