Major Rule Changes
- The free substitution rule (any or all of the players may be replaced by substitutes after any play) was restored on a permanent basis. This change paved the way for player specialization in pro football, including three separate units for each team: offensive team, defensive team, and special teams.
- If a backwards pass or fumble goes out of bounds before it is recovered, the team that had control of the ball last maintains possession.
