1. The biggest difference will come with overtime rules. Both teams will be allowed to possess the football, with true sudden death starting after one possession each.

2. The "Tuck Rule" has been buried

6. The cherry on the rule-changing Sundae: "Tasteful individual and/or group celebrations are permitted ONLY in end zone and bench area."
A few I agree with. About the only one I don't is the change to the grounding rules. But NFL seems kind of random with it.

Not a bad start changing some pretty stupid rules while leave everything else basically intact.

For another one-year-and-done league...
