The NFL officially kicked off Week One with wins by the Miami Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, and several other teams. From standout performances by players like TJ Watt to Josh Allen, who led their teams to victory, the season is just getting started.
The 2024 season brings new skills, rules, and players. Among the changes is a new kickoff method, which some teams are already leveraging to their advantage. For example, Arizona Cardinals’ kick returner DeeJay Dallas scored the first touchdown under the new rule. According to the NFL, “In advance of the 2024 season, NFL clubs have voted unanimously to remove the hip-drop tackle from the game,” to avoid more injuries. “Kicker cannot cross the 50-yard line until ball touches the ground or player in landing zone or end zone,” they added.
