Buccaneers QB in Crosshairs as NFL Unveils Latest Rule

The NFL offseason is in full swing, bringing with it a slew of rule changes and proposals. These changes are aimed at shaping the future of the game. On Wednesday, the league unveiled several key rule changes. This includes one that will have a direct impact on Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield.

In a notable update to the NFL’s celebration rules, a new infraction has been added: the “nose wipe.” According to ESPN’s Benjamin Solak, players who wipe their noses during a celebration will now be subject to a 15-yard penalty.

The NFL distributed its comprehensive rules report to all 32 teams this week, categorizing a specific celebration as a “violent action” under Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1(d). Notably, this celebration has been popularized by players like Baker Mayfield.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is another prominent player who has frequently showcased this celebration style.

As a passionate player known for fighting for extra yards and openly expressing his excitement, Baker Mayfield will need to explore new ways to celebrate first downs, starting with the 2025 season.

Ah yes, the NFL is out here tackling the important issues. I mean, they don’t call it the “No Fun League” for nothing.
