There are no more restrictions on when a team can attempt an onside kick.<\/p>\n
The NFL owners today passed a rule that allows teams to declare an onside kick at any time in the game, regardless of the score.<\/p>\n
Since 2024, when the NFL adopted the \u201cdynamic\u201d kickoff, onside kicks have had to be declared in advance. That season, the league rules only permitted onside kicks by a team that was losing in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
Last year, the NFL changed the rules so that onside kicks could be attempted at any time during the game, but still only by the trailing team.<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s rule change means that a team can attempt an onside kick at any time in the game and regardless of whether they\u2019re winning, losing or tied.<\/p>\n
Realistically, teams will hardly ever attempt an onside kick unless they\u2019re losing in the fourth quarter. But now teams have the option to onside kick on any kickoff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are no more restrictions on when a team can attempt an onside kick.
