DeeJay Dallas of the Arizona Cardinals made NFL history by scoring the first touchdown under the new 'dynamic kickoff' rules, returning a kickoff 96 yards against the Buffalo Bills. This significant play occurred midway through the fourth quarter, bringing the Cardinals within three points of the Bills. Despite Dallas's historic return, Arizona ultimately lost the game 34-28. The new kickoff rule, introduced to enhance player safety and excitement, saw mixed early results with many touchbacks but also some notable returns. Dallas, in his fifth NFL season, previously played for the Seattle Seahawks but never achieved a kickoff return touchdown until now. His 123 kick return yards in this game are nearly one-tenth of his career total.
