The New York Rangers are the first team to clinch a playoff spot.

NFL

The NFL has made some significant rule changes for this upcoming year. First, the kickoffs that you all know and hate are no more.

Kickoffs will look radically different in the NFL next year. Here's how and why

For years, the NFL has tweaked kickoff rules to reduce injuries, resulting in kickoffs that were safer but more boring. The changes aim to re-introduce excitement while keeping injuries low.
