"NFL Competition Committee Rejects Proposal to Change End Zone Fumble Rule"
The proposal to change the NFL rule regarding fumbles out of the end zone has been abandoned, according to Cowboys executive Stephen Jones. Despite discussions, the possibility has "died," but owners could still make the change with a majority vote. The current rule results in fewer points over time, and while there was no specific incident prompting the consideration, offensive players are reminded of the risk of reaching with the ball near the goal line.
