V.IC Fangio, the cunning coordinator of the defense of Philadelphia Orlov, was very proud of observing the defense on Sunday, leaving Tampa -Bay Bukkaners 47 yards from the line of the Eagle gate, remained in only four seconds in the first half.
In the old days, this could lead to the fact that the city of Maria went into the final zone. But instead, Bucs Kicker Chase Mclaughlin entered the field and calmly knocked out a 65-fair field goal through the super-warmed sky of Florida, tied to the second in length in NFL story
Later, Maclaflin loaded the 58-fair field goal to put BUCS at eight points with 12 minutes in the game. Philadelphia will run away with a victory of 31-25, but Fangii went to one culprit: the designated blows on the legs or balls “K”, which each team is allowed to prepare for use in games.
“In the past years,” said Fangii at a press conference on Tuesday, “office faces rub them, or other people will grind them, and you would play with them. Now the balls are in place all week, and they hit the balls that they had, and no one else touches them. ”
Referring to the brilliant kowboev kicker, Brandon Obri, Fangii said: “The guy in Dallas is going to apply more than 70 more than 70 yards this year. You can just book it … I mean, who thought they would reach the 65-yard recently? So she sharply changed the game, playing a blow and a field goal. Guys guys have more than they are used to. ”
NFL, it seems, (successfully) returned more legs to American football. With several changes in the rules in recent years, the game of special NFL teams has become a much greater factor in determining the results of the games. This is considered a good thing.
“Does NFL want more points? Here it is, ”said Michael Clay, a coach of special teams Eagles on Tuesday.
These new formations of starting films can still look far -fetched (the President of the United States himself registered Having said that they are “bad for playing football”), but, with the rules, even more this year, they sharply led to more actions. Teams on average 23.4 points per game, the second largest in history.
Four weeks later, compared to professional football, NFL teams gain an average of 103.2 yards as a result of the start of the game for the game, the highest in history – and more than Four times On average, 24.9 yards per team in 2023, after which NFL Changed the entire start procedureThe field only 16.5% of the starts in 2025 led to touch compared to 73% in 2023.
In particular, the League encourages strokes in the “landing zone”, which extends 20 yards from the gate line. As a result, the initial blows are cleverly located, more similar to blows to the tomb. There was a time when the kickers simply escaped from the final zone for sensory, but doing this now leads to the fact that the ball will be placed on the 35-Yard line.
A week earlier, in 33-26 victories over Los Angeles Rams, the eagles had serious problems, surviving shaky, crazy, bouncing starting strokes, the second-rate of the second-rate of Rams, with five Philadelphia trips, starting or inside the 20-yard line.
But kickers cannot just hit the grounding of their opponents and hope for dishes. The beginning should first hit the surface or be caught inside this planting zone. After Arizona Cardinals Ched Rylend connected the game against Seattle Sikhox with 28 seconds, Ched Ryland awakened the start, which landed one yard from the landing zone.
The fine was serious: Seahawks received a 40 ball, less than 20 yards near the range of Kiker Jason Mayers. After the 22-fair passage and a 4-fair mileage, Mayers, who had previously missed a 53-fair attempt, drilled a 52-fair attempt to make a sieve victory 23-20.
When he was asked at his press conference after the game that Riland was trying to achieve there, Arizona coach Jonathan Ghannon said: “Keep it in the game. This is one of the things that we are talking about at the end of the game with the number of timeouts, the time that they need on the line. We tried to burn there for a while. ”
More busy bosses seem to have lost their rest. This year there were already 16 blocked blows, field goals and additional glasses. On Sunday, Dallas blocked an additional attempt in connection with 40-40 with Green Bay, and Cowboys Back Markques Bell returned the ball to 80 yards for safety or two points for Dallas. It was only the 10th time when this happened since it was first resolved in 2015.
Josh Blackwell blocked the 54-fair attempt by Daniel Carlson in the field with the remaining 33 seconds to enable Chicago bears To hold on to 25-24 victory over Las Vegas. A week after blocking two field goals against Rams-second of which could win the game for Los Angeles, but led to the landing of eagles-filadelphia blocked a blow against the Tampa Bey and returned this for the early TD.
Meanwhile, the veteran kuker Orlov Jake Elliott continued to consolidate the Tampa -Bay deep with dexterous blows in the landing zone. Tampa Bay began six discs after its beginning in an average 22-fair line. His first start fell into the landing zone and rolled into the final zone for circulation. Under these conditions, BUCS was supposed to start with their 20-fair line.
“Jake does an incredible job, trying to improve everything he does,” Clay said. “Whether this is a field goal, whether it is a lot of work is included in this from the point of view of the backstage. We went there, I know that it was raining last Wednesday, but we were still able to go outside and just feel it. Then a lot of this simply comes down to confidence. Jake was able to say at the end of the week – I am pretty sure of this blow. ” This is all I had to hear to realize it, but also this is a good change.
“The Kickoff team has still done really good work during the first four weeks of coating. In any case, we could get a starting point for protection inside 25 at a starting blow, for us it is quite good, so we will just try to continue to develop it, try to continue to improve.
To limit these bones full of clashes, coating commands for the so-called “dynamic principle” line on the 40-yard line of the reception team, 25 yards in front of the kiker. Until now, only one start has been returned for landing Antonio Gibson from New England.
From the new formation of the beginning, the losing team must announce their intention to try a blow on the side, which seems to deprive the unexpected factor (although the reception team has a pretty good idea, what will happen). In 2025, only two blows were discovered in 2025.
In general, however, the foot game was lively. Even additional points, a 33-fair attempt since 2015, are not surpassed, with a success indicator of 95.9% compared with 99.3% in 2014. But, hey, NFL can always mess with these rules in the off -season.
