Ein weiterer Vorschlag ist, den Ball künftig permanent nach einem Touchback an der 25-Yard-Linie zu platzieren. Die Liga beschloss diese Regel vor 2 Jahren zu Testzwecken, aber der Wettbewerbsausschuss empfiehlt nun die Testphase in eine permanente Regel umzuwandeln.
Die Chargers fordern, dass Fouls wie Roughing the passer oder hitting a defenseless player künftig reviewable werden. Die Redskins schlugen vor, dass auch personal fouls reviewable werden.
Regeländerungen müssen durch eine Abstimmung unter den Team Besitzern genehmigt werden, wo mindestens 24 von 32 für einen Antrag stimmen müssen.
Hier ist die vollständige Liste der Vorschläge:
1. By competition committee: Makes permanent the playing rule that changes the spot of the next snap after a touchback resulting from a free kick to the 25-yard line.
2. By competition committee: Changes standard for a catch.
3. By competition committee: Makes the penalties for illegal batting & kicking the same.
4. By Los Angeles Chargers: To add fouls for roughing the passer and fouls against players in a defenseless posture as reviewable plays in the instant replay system.
5. By Washington Redskins: To add review of personal fouls as reviewable plays in the instant replay system.
6. By New York Jets: To change the enforcement for defensive pass interference.
7. By competition committee: Authorizes the designated member of the officiating department to instruct on-field game officials to disqualify a player for a flagrant nonfootball act when a foul for that act is called on the field.
8. By competition committee: Conforms the amount of time in which a team must challenge a play if there is a television commercial break following the play in question.
9. By competition committee: Eliminates the requirement that a team who scores a winning touchdown at the end of regulation of a game to kick the extra point or go for two-point conversion.
10. By competition committee: If there is a turnover, a team may win an overtime game, even though it scores on its second possession.
