The NFL is making a significant change to the 2026-27 schedule, and it will impact the league for years to come. The post NFL Announces Change for 2026 Season appeared first on Heavy Sports.

The NFL is considering changes to its kickoff format just two seasons into its existence. According to Mark Maske of the Washington Post, the league indicated that the reason for a potential change is related to the concussion rate on kickoffs during the 2025 season.

The Green Bay Packers and Buffalo Bills faced similar decisions after another promising season ended short of the Super Bowl. The Packers opted to give coach Matt LaFleur a contract extension in hopes that he can still get the team over the hump,

Both teams get at least one possession in overtime, a rule change made after the controversial 2022 AFC Championship game. The Buffalo Bills lost that one to the Kansas City Chiefs after failing to get a possession in overtime, as you might remember.

The Panthers were good on kickoffs, but the rules might be changing yet again.

The NFL hated legalized gambling, until it didn't.
