NFL owners have approved a rule banning the swivel hip-drop tackle due to its potential for causing lower-body injuries.
The violation will result in a 15-yard penalty if flagged during games, with enforcement likely following a warning and fines system similar to the "use of helmet" rule.
The hip-drop tackle involves a defender wrapping the ball carrier and then unweighting himself by swivelling and dropping his hips, causing significant injuries to the runner's legs and knees.
Additionally, teams will now receive a third challenge after one successful challenge, a proposal submitted by the Lions.
The National Football League (NFL) stands as the premier professional football league in the United States, commanding the nation's passion for the sport.
