Why NFL is seeing more long field goals: Kickers admit 2025 rule change is adding distance to their kicks

The proof is in the numbers: Kickers are hitting long field goals at a higher rate this season and one big reason why that appears to be happening is because of a new K-Ball rule that was implemented this year.

Under the new rule, each team is given 60 kicking footballs (K-Balls) at the beginning of the season. This allows each team to break the ball in before they use it. Since the ball can be used in practice, that generally softens it up. Teams are also allowed to use a brush to try and rub down the bumps (Every football is covered by thousands of tiny bumps).
