NFL to delay late-afternoon kickoffs to 4:25 ET

Last season the NFL instituted new on-field kickoff rules. This season, the kickoff adjustment is schedule related.

To avoid overlap with the end of games beginning at 1 p.m. ET, the league is shifting it's mid-afternoon game start time to 4:25 p.m. ET. Games have started at 4:05 and 4:15.
