Chicago Bears Reportedly Considering Wild Strategy For New Kickoff Rule

The NFL recognized last season that an element of excitement was missing from their games. That was the absence of kickoff returns. Getting the fans up and juiced was always something those did. However, constant rule changes in the name of player safety eventually led teams to finally give up and start kicking the ball through the end zone, settling for touchbacks. The Chicago Bears were right there embracing the same reality despite their long and storied history in the return game. Thankfully, the league realized something had to change.
