PALM BEACH, Fla. — The NFL is in a good place as owners head into their annual meetings this week.
Games are moving at a quicker pace. People are generally happy with instant replay. Onside kick recovery numbers are back up in an acceptable range. And heading into the final week of last season, 18 teams were still alive in the playoff race, tied for the second-most ever.
A problem is overtime rules, and those will be the primary focus as owners, coaches and executives convene to tinker with the game they love.
