Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell's proposal to change the enforcement of defensive penalties, specifically regarding automatic first downs for holding and illegal contact, was rejected by NFL owners. Campbell expressed that while he thought the proposal had merit, he did not have high hopes for its acceptance during the Annual League Meeting in Palm Beach, Florida. The rationale behind the proposal was to provide defenses with a fairer chance during critical moments, particularly on third downs. Campbell's perspective highlights the ongoing discussions surrounding the balance between offense and defense in the league.

In addition to the rejected proposal, several other resolutions passed, including adjustments to overtime rules that align regular season overtime with postseason rules, expanded replay assistance for penalties already called, and changes to kickoff touchback rules. The adjustments reflect the league's ongoing efforts to enhance the game while addressing concerns from coaches and teams.
