I think there only needs to be a couple rule changes to help level the playing field a little bit

- Eliminate illegal contact: It's too redundant to holding and it's just another penalty that can be called. Pass interference and holding should be the only fouls.
- Defensive holding is no longer an automatic first down: This is one of the worst things, especially on a third and 6+ where it hands a first down.
- Pass interference like college, 15 yard penalty: I remember Rodgers once got like a 66 yard penalty off PI. That's a bit much.
- The ability to challenge roughing the passer and helmet to helmet/defenseless receiver penalties: This year more than ever these penalties are keeping drives alive.

Game will still have tons of offense, the Air Raid offenses aren't going away. But it should help avoid games becoming Madden on Easy.
