Why it Matters for Detroit Lions

There were a total of nine rule proposals this year, and the Lions submitted three of those. Obviously, the Lions felt strongly enough about these rule changes that they sent them to the league for consideration. The Philadelphia Eagles also submitted a proposal to adopt the XFL-style onside kick substitute, permitting a team to maintain possession of the ball after a score by substituting one offensive play (4th and 20 from the kicking team’s 20-yard line) for an onside kickoff attempt.
