Re: What's One NFL Rule That Needs To Be Changed?

This is not exactly a rule but i have always felt that receivers who deflect or bobble a catchable pass to defenders should have the INT count on their stats not the QBs. A bobbled catch int is exactly like a fielding error in baseball, yet it counts against the ‘ pitcher’ who has no control of it.

Also i would have a rule that any fumble following helmet to helmet contact is a dead ball even if the runner lowers his helmet. Donte Whitner forcing the fumble on Pierre Thomas by concussing him was a disaster for player safety that made CTE the defensive MVP and if we continue to allow concussions as a turnover strategy its only a matter of time until we pull a corpse from the bottom of a pile while defenders celebrate.
