The NFL Pro Bowl is more than an opportunity for the league’s top talent to showcase their skills, it’s also a chance for potential rule changes to be tested in a game-day atmosphere.
Two potential rule changes will be tested at this year’s NFL Pro Bowl in Orlando, per NFL Operations.
The first involves two options after a successful field goal or try attempt in lieu of a kickoff. The second relates to negating false starts on a flinch by a flexed receiver.
Here’s a look at the language of the two new proposed rule changes. More in-depth explanations and notes can be found at the Football Operations website.
The 2020 NFL Pro Bowl is set to kick off Sunday, Jan. 26 from Camping World Stadium in Orlando.
Three Seahawks have been named to the NFC squad – quarterback Russell Wilson, linebacker Bobby Wagner and alternate cornerback Shaquill Griffin as a replacement player.
Pete Carroll and the Seahawks staff will be coaching the NFC roster.
