When the season begins tonight, there will be a new rule that applies to, well, kickoffs. The new dynamic kickoff rule gives special teams coordinators the opportunity to develop new kickoff plays and rules.
“I just think it will be a lot more exciting for the fans,” said Dave Toub, Chiefs special teams coordinator.
Kansas City is still an unknown quantity, but it has a very specific goal: to make it three straight wins. That all starts tonight with Game 1 of Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season, airing on NBC and Peacock.
