It's been a rough 24 hours for .The NFL's 32 owners held a virtual meeting on Wednesday and during that meeting they approved several rule changes for the 2021 season. Not only did they , but they also closed a loophole in the rulebook that was exploited by Brady during the 2020 season.Back , the proposed a rule that called for teams to lose a down if they throw a second forward pa s from behind the line of scrimmage or if they throw a pa s from behind the line of scrimmage after the ball has already cro sed the line of scrimmage. That might seem like a very specific rule to propose, but the Rams asked for a change because they got burned by Brady and and the rulebook back in Week 11.On a third-and-10 play for the Mark Stuart Jersey in the fourth quarter, a pa s thrown by Brady was batted back to him and he responded by throwing another pa s, which ended up being an 8-yard completion to . Brady really caught a pa s and completed a pa s on the same play on ESPN The Checkdown (@thecheckdown) The officials threw a flag for the double-pa s, but it put the Rams in a difficult situation: If they accepted the penalty, it would only be for 5 yards, Teemu Selanne Jersey which means Brady and the Buccaneers offense would get to come back on the field for a third-and-15. If they declined the penalty, the second pa s would COUNT and the Buccaneers would be facing a fourth-and-2. The Rams ended up declining the penalty and Brady got credited for an 8-yard pa s.

From the Rams' point of view, there was nothing fair about this situation: The Buccaneers were either going to get another down (if penalty is accepted) or gain 8 yards (if penalty is declined), even though the penalty was on Brady. Under the new rule that was approved Wednesday, the play will result in a 5-yard penalty and a lo s of down. If the new rule had been in place in November, the Rams would have accepted the penalty on Brady and the Buccaneers would have faced a fourth-and-15.That rule proposed by the Rams was one of six that got approved on Wednesday and here's a look at the other five: No more preseason OT. Overtime in the preseason has been eliminated, which is something we can probably all get behind.Onside kicks might be easier. For one year only, the NFL will establish a maximum number of players in the setup zone ( Kyle Connor Jersey That's the area that's between 10 and 25 yards from the kickoff spot). Under this rule, only nine players on the receiving team will be allowed in the setup zone during kickoffs, which will theoretically make it easier for the kicking team to recover an onside kick. Under the old rule, the receiving team could put 10 or 11 players in the setup zone. For more details on this change, .Replay official has more power.

This means that the replay official can now buzz down to fix a mi sed call. This only applies to objective calls like spotting the ball, overturning an incomplete pa s or whether a player is down by contact.Penalties on extra points are now more consistent. A rule has been approved that ensures the enforcement of all accepted penalties committed by either team during succe sive try attempts. If a team gets penalized on an extra point, it can take the penalty at the 2-yard line OR 15-yard line. If it gets penalized again, the penalty has to be enforced from wherever the first penalty was enforced, so if it has a false start on a 2-point conversion, it could have that enforced at the 2- or 15-yard line. If it had a second false start, it no longer gets an option: it would be enforced from the spot of the first penaltyNFL relaxes its rule for jersey numbers. The NFL also approved the rule to give players at certain positions expanded jersey number options. This rule will allow running backs, receivers, linebackers and defensive backs to wear No. 1-19.
