> During kick off, you could have two players running into each other full speed from 50 yards out. Of course the person who is willing to go fully into contact will win.

Targeting rules get a lot of focus but moving the kickoff spot up to the 35 and touchbacks up to the 25 were probably the most consequential safety changes in modern football.
