"NFL Competition Committee Stands Firm on End Zone Fumble Rule"
The NFL competition committee has decided not to change the controversial rule regarding fumbling through the end zone, which results in a touchback and possession for the defense. Despite criticism from fans and players, the committee defended the rule, citing the player's responsibility to maintain control. Discussions about potential changes, such as giving the offense the ball back at the spot of the fumble, have not gained traction, with concerns about finding a better alternative. The rule was last discussed in 2017, and while it has been deemed punitive against the offense, no significant changes are expected as of now.
