The rule changes update the game without turning it into NFL Lite

Interview requests

Gridiron football is one of many sports that I follow. I’m a huge fan of the National Football League, and my favourite team is the Dallas Cowboys. It’s long been a passion to watch the NFL during the week and on Sundays.

My interest in football doesn’t stop there. I also enjoy watching the Canadian Football League, which has a unique playing style of its own. It also made some intriguing rule changes that I believe will make the sport stronger in the Great White North.

We’ll get to that shortly.

The CFL season ended just over a week ago. The Saskatchewan Roughriders beat the Montreal Alouettes 25-17 to win the 112th Grey Cup at Princess Auto Stadium in Winnipeg, Man., on Nov. 16. It was a good game, and a rather close one. A fumble at the goal line late in the fourth quarter turned out to be the dagger for Montreal and earned Saskatchewan its fifth Grey Cup in team history.

It was a memorable victory for one of the Canadian Football League’s oldest teams and its most hard-luck club.

The rule changes update scoring, field dimensions and long-standing quirks while protecting what makes Canadian football unique.
