Refs confused by kickoff rules, leading to safety for Jags
Michael DiRocco, an NFL reporter for ESPN, covers the Jacksonville Jaguars. In a recent game against the Kansas City Chiefs, there was confusion surrounding a kickoff that was initially ruled a touchback but overturned to be a safety after a lengthy discussion. Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson emphasized the importance of coaches teaching their players about the new kickoff rules. The situation arose when the Chiefs returner grabbed the ball in the end zone and brought it back into play while kneeling down. Ultimately, the correct call was made, resulting in a safety for the Jaguars. Both teams will work on ensuring clarity about the rule going forward.
