Wonder how that will impact college games, specifically LSU?

Well that sucks. I wish the NFL would stop the clock after first downs.

Games faster, commercials longer.

It’s also going to stop clock in final 2 minutes of each half still.

Nail biting games will become anxiety attacks.

You know, instead of fundamentally changing the rules of football that have been in place for well over 50 years, why not just reduce the amount of TV timeouts along with reducing the amount of time they are allowed to take? Instead of 3 minutes, reduce it to 1:00.

The networks would scream that they can’t afford to produce it without all those asinine commercials. Well, if the whole world wants to watch it, someone will stream it. CBS particularly as well as Disney can figure it out.

No one watches commercials anymore anyway

Good. Stopping the clock after every first down in this Era of offense is ridiculous.

For those saying "fundamentally change the way the game is played". They did that long ago with pro-offense rule changes. This actually benefits defenses finally.
