NFL Signals Cautious Rule Path for 2026: Replay Tweaks, Tush Push and Safety in Focus

The NFL competition committee expects few major rule changes for 2026, with discussions this week centering on the Tush Push, catch rules, replay regulations, special teams safety, and disqualifications. The push to ban the Tush Push failed last offseason (22 votes of 24 needed). Talks also cover aligning live action with frame-by-frame replay, potential use of replay to flag missed calls, and whether to explore alternatives to onside kicks such as a fourth-and-15. A Monday meeting will review replay procedures and any broader updates.

Texans-Steelers kickoff tests the NFL’s new touchback rule in rare fashion

The opening kickoff of Texans vs. Steelers produced a rare touchback to the 20-yard line after Steelers returner Jaylen Warren touched the ball in the landing zone before it crossed the goal line; possession wasn’t considered complete until he had two feet in the end zone, illustrating how the landing-zone rule can yield a touchback rather than a safety and how ball contact with a player, not just the ground, affects spot.
