  • Countdown to Kickoff (10 Days)
    COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF (10 DAYS) NEW NFL RULES FOR 2016 Rule changes are made each season to improve the game and make it safer. Recent rules changes and points of emphasis focused on player safety have resulted in defenders adjusting their target zone and using the proper tackling technique. In 2015, there were 10 players fined for hits on defenseless players, compared to 40 for the same offense in 2012. FINES FOR HITS ON DEFENSELESS PLAYERS SEASON FINES 2012 40 2013 25 2014 11 2015 10 With player health and safety remaining a priority, here are the 2016 rules changes and points of emphasis: CHOP BLOCK: All chop blocks are now illegal. A chop block is a two-man high-low block in which a defensive player is engaged above the waist by one offensive player and blocked at the thigh or below by a second offensive player. A chop block is a foul whether it occurs on a running play, a pass play or a kicking play. If it is clear that the defensive player is initiating the contact above the waist, or that the offensive player is trying to slip or escape, then the block is legal. UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT FOULS: A player that is penalized twice in the same game for certain types of unsportsmanlike conduct fouls will be automatically disqualified. These types of fouls include: o Throwing a punch or kick without making contact o Use of abusive or threatening language toward an opponent o Any act that constitutes taunting HORSE COLLAR: The horse collar rule has been expanded for this season.

    2014 NFHS FOOTBALL RULES BOOK ROBERT B. GARDNER, Publisher Bob Colgate, Editor NFHS Publications To maintain the sound traditions of this sport, encourage sportsmanship and minimize the inherent risk of injury, the National Federation of State High School Associations writes playing rules for varsity competition among student-athletes of high school age. High school coaches, officials and administrators who have knowledge and experience regarding this particular sport and age group volunteer their time to serve on the rules committee. Member associations of the NFHS independently make decisions regarding compliance with or modification of these playing rules for the student-athletes in their respective states. NFHS rules are used by education-based and non-education-based organizations serving children of varying skill levels who are of high school age and younger. In order to make NFHS rules skill-level and age-level appropriate, the rules may be modified by any organization that chooses to use them. Except as may be specifically noted in this rules book, the NFHS makes no recommendation about the nature or extent of the modifications that may be appropriate for children who are younger or less skilled than high school varsity athletes. Every individual using these rules is responsible for prudent judgment with respect to each contest, athlete and facility, and each athlete is responsible for exercising caution and good sportsmanship. These rules should be interpreted and applied so as to make reasonable accommodations for athletes, coaches and officials with disabilities. © 2014, This rules book has been copyrighted by the National Federation of State High School Associations with the United States Copyright Office.
