Philadelphia’s rule suggestion goes like this: first, the scoring staff must alert the official of its intention to forgo an onside kick or kickoff to try to retain possession. The ball can be noticed on the staff’s personal 20-yard line and might want to achieve not less than 20 yards to retain the ball.Â
If the offense attains sufficient yardage, the results of the play is a primary down. In the event that they fail to satisfy the marker, they flip the ball over to the defending staff. If the offense is penalized on the play, they can not reverse their choice on the try.

The Eagles added two doable caveats – the staff might elect to retain possession this fashion not more than two instances in the course of the recreation and should be trailing its opponent to have the ability to use the play.
Philadelphia stated the rule would promote “aggressive equality and fan engagement.”
