The end of the onside kick
Denver’s proposal is awfully close to what we saw in the newly-formed American Alliance of Football this winter. Here’s how it would look: Instead of an onside kick after a score, the team would have the option of going for a newly-created fourth-and-15 from their own 35. If a first-down is converted, they get it and are allowed to keep possession. If they don’t, the other team takes over on downs wherever the last play ended.
