NFL rule changes

Sounds like very nice changes. There is one that I am not too sure how it works, if anyone can fully explain the "deferring the opening coin toss" I would love to understand what that really means.

I really like the new face mask rule, just touching the mask really should not be a penalty.

Should be the same as college. The winner of the coin toss can now choose to pick what they want to do at the beginning of the second half.

So a team with a great defense may defer and lt the opposing team have the ball first for example.

Agreed.
