Richard Hightower says league personnel are meeting today to try and fix NFL kickoff rules when asked about the Eagles using a 12th man to hold the ball on kickoffs.

Little clarification here: The NFL's special teams committee is not trying to eradicate the use of a holder on kickoffs. That is allowed under the dynamic kickoff rules but has normally only been used in windy/inclement conditions. The focus of today's meeting will be about making sure teams always use a tee on kickoffs, no matter if they're also using a holder or having a kicker kick the ball from the tee. Not using a tee with someone holding the ball can alter the angle of the ball on kickoffs.
Richard Hightower said that special teams coaches who were on the committee to create the new kickoff rules will meet Friday to discuss the rules going forward after the Eagles (in Week 2) and Falcons (in Week 1) used punter Braden Mann to hold the ball during kickoffs. Under the new kickoff rules, the ball is supposed to be placed on a tee.
Using a holder was not the intent of the rule, Hightower said, which is why the meeting was called in the first place. He stressed that it will get "corrected."

Update: Sounds like there could be a rule change on this as soon as today. #Bears ST coordinator Richard Hightower says the intent of this rule was that a tee still needs to be used. The special teams coordinators are getting together today and Hightower says it will be corrected so that a tee is used going forward this season.
To be clear: Holders can still be out there holding the ball at an angle, but it needs to be on a tee.
Smart loophole? #Eagles had holder Braden Mann on the field as a 12th man for all but one of Jake Elliott's kickoffs last week.
It's legal under the new kickoff rules, as long as the holder runs off the field after the kick. In this case, it wasn't because of wind. It was to hold the ball at an angle to aid Elliott's "dirty" kicks.

Been praising the #Eagles special teams the first two weeks.
Hightower is right.
Bears special teams coordinator Richard Hightower says the Eagles have the best FG blocking unit in the league.
“We’ve got a tall, tall task.”

#PHIvsCHI officiating crew cheat sheet
HOME teams are 47% ATS in referee Shawn Hochuli's career
The Jalen Hurts/Nick Sirianni led #Eagles are 6-0 SU & 3-2-1 ATS w' Hochuli
Through two weeks, the Bears are being penalized at twice the rate of the Eagles
Since 2021, Shawn Hochuli has recorded the highest per game avg via the OFFENSIVE HOLDING/FALSE START combination
The Eagles & Bears currently rank as top 10 penalized teams for OFFENSIVE HOLDING
The @ChicagoBears currently rank as a top 10 penalized team for PRE-SNAP infractions, continuing a problematic trend from the past two seasons
Those infractions contribute to an above avg 60% of Chicago's overall penalties being assessed on the OFFENSE
That % needs to be lower as the season progresses
UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS gets called at a higher rate on PRIMETIME games
Hochuli's crew have called the most penalties in this category since the start of 2025 season
Hochuli officiated contests go UNDER the total at a 57% rate in his career
The absence of Caleb Williams takes a lot of the juice out of MNF
This game wont be an offensive masterpiece & I lean under 41.5 points
They haven't set the world on fire, but I think Hurts & Co can do enough to get into the 20's
The @Eagles defense will seal the deal & ensure a 3-0 start to the season for Philly
I think we see a 23-16 type final, & like the Eagles laying the -4.5pts on MNF

The Philadelphia Phillies have a 2-game lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks for the final NL wild-card berth, but Arizona has the tiebreaker.
The Phillies' magic number is 2, with any combination of 2 Phillies' victories or Diamondbacks' defeats will complete the NL postseason field.
The Phillies play the final 3 at home vs. Tampa Bay.
The Diamondbacks play the final 3 in San Diego.
