NFL Teams Propose Innovative Rule Changes for Game Time and Emergency Situations.
The Philadelphia Eagles have proposed adding tenths of a second to the NFL game clock for the final 30 seconds of each half. This would be a first for professional football and could add another level of gamesmanship and certainty for NFL coaches to know what they can pull off within the actual time frame. The proposal has received positive responses from coaches and analytics staffers around the league, but there are concerns about the feasibility of adding the extra decimal to all NFL stadium scoreboards. The competition committee will discuss the proposal in two weeks.
