It may lead to more returns for TDs. It'll be interesting to see at the end of the season compared to last season. I saw two today.

Also, NFL team with the longest regular season active winning streak? That would be the Lions. Make your apocalypse plans accordingly.

I cant dispute that it seems like there have been a lot of great KO returns thus far, but this statement makes no sense to me...unless the kickers arent kicking off as high or as deep, which makes zero sense, i cant understand what else would have the ball getting to the returner any quicker than before.
