NFL rule changes for 2010 

A defenseless player cannot be hit in the head or neck by an opponent who launches himself and uses his helmet, shoulder or forearm to make contact. Previously, this applied only to receivers.

When a ballcarrier loses his helmet, the whistle will blow and the ball will be placed at the spot where the player lost it.

The umpire will be stationed behind the offensive backfield rather than in the linebackers area.

During a field goal or extra point, no player can line up directly across from the snapper. Previously, a player needed to have his helmet outside the snapper's shoulder pads.

A dead ball personal foul on the final play of the second or fourth quarters will cause a 15-yard penalty on the second-half or overtime kickoff. Previously, no penalty was enforced.

If a punt returner makes a fair catch signal and muffs the ball, he is entitled to a "reasonable opportunity" to catch the muff before it hits the ground without interference of the coverage team. In case of a penalty, the ball will be placed at the spot of the interference but no yardage marked off.

When a ball strikes a videoboard (as one punt did last preseason at Cowboys Stadium), guide wire or sky cam, the play is whistled dead and replayed. The game clock is reset to when the play started.

If the clock is stopped in the final minute of either half for a replay review but would not have stopped without the review, officials will run off 10 seconds before resuming play. Either team can take a timeout to avoid the runoff.

What's weird is that that list doesn't include the biggest change. The one that you can't win in OT on your first possesion by kicking a FG.

This rule gets me. 10 seconds sounds like an awful lot of time especially because replays are called from the booths. What if your receiver makes an amazing catch with 9 seconds left, you have no timeouts and the booth decides to review it. Despite the fact that your team could have been able to run up and spike the ball in less than 9 seconds the 10 seconds are runoff, game over. That doesn't sit well with me at all. I'd guess they'd probably let you run a play with 0 seconds on the clock in these situations? Either way I think a 5 second runoff is more appropriate. I mean, 10 seconds is 1/6th of the time in the final minute.

Agreed. I don't understand this rule change at all. It penalizes teams for something that isn't their fault, and for this very reason, it disincentizes officials from calling for reviews -- they won't want to be viewed as the bad guys who ended the game because of a 10-second runoff. The article doesn't state this, but I have to wonder if the corollary of this rule is that when there are less than 10 seconds on the clock, reviews will not be called. Quarterbacks will have to get adept at spiking a ball before the officials can call a review, taking, if necessary, an illegal formation penalty by spiking it regardless of who's made it to the line. This could make for some ugly ends to halves.
