Extended Goal Posts
No longer will you have to wonder if that towering field goal was in or not. The NFL decided to raise the field goal posts five feet to prevent any confusion.

Longer Extra Point Attempts
This preseason, the NFL will experiment with moving the point-after attempt to the 25-yard line. The two-point conversion attempt will continue to be taken from the 2-yard line.

What's the Call?
Officials will now be allowed to consult the NFL officiating department during replay reviews to declare if a call should be upheld or overturned.

NaVorro Bowman Rule
The NFL is re-organizing the rules regarding what can or cannot be reviewed, which includes the recovery of a loose ball in the field of play being reviewable.

Time's Running
The clock will no longer stop in the result of a sack in the final two minutes of either half

Spot of the Foul
Defensive penalties behind the line of scrimmage will now be enforced from the previous spot, rather than from the spot of the foul or from the end of a run.

Dunking Banned
Say goodbye to Jimmy Graham’s famous goalpost dunk. The NFL has expanded the existing rule disallowing the football to be used as a celebration prop to include the ball being dunked over the crossbar.

Knee Protection

The league has updated the rule that forbids a player to hit an opponent in the back of the legs to include the side of the legs as well.

The last might be the most important! Now they have to enforce it and the old crackback block!
