Other rule changes approved by the committee include ...
- Offensive players will not be allowed to block below the waist when the block occurs more than 5 yards beyond the line of scrimmage.
- Play clocks will be set at 40 seconds after touchdowns and following kickoffs to expedite succeeding plays.
- A 10-second runoff has been added for when instant replay overturns a ruling on the field inside of one minute in either half, and the correct ruling would not have stopped the game clock.
- Continued experimental collaborative decision-making model on instant replays.
- Leaping rules on field goals and extra points will mirror those on punting plays.
- Penalty enforcement on successful field goals will mirror extra points (i.e. the option to be enforced on ensuing kickoff).
