NFL Redzone is underway. However, so many kick-offs are going dead for touchbacks, I wonder how long it will be before the NFL moves the kick-off back from the 35 yard line. It's such an anti-climax when the big kick-off goes through the end zone.

I think the NFL are very happy to avoid those run backs which sometimes resulted in big collisions and injury (concussion). It’s why they changed the onside kick rule.

So long as it isn't as soft as what the Pro-Bowl has become.

Long term health of the players most definitely the important thing here.

Can't believe the Eagles are level with the Steelers ATM.

Yes - the touch backs are intentional. The combination of kicking off from the 35 plus coming out to the 25 for a touchback makes it a decent option for both.

In my day, it only came back out to the 10...

Is he on due to injury or bad play? Happy he's made it back.
