With the nfl’s new kickoff rules, teams will have to declare an onside kick to the officials so both the kick and return teams can adjust where. The nfl has earned its nickname as the no fun league on many occasions, and they’ve done it yet again with the new onside kick rules they’ll be implementing for the 2024.
