I really don't like this rule but it is what it is.
Also.
- Onside kick only in 4th Qtr and only if team is trailing
- AND you must declare onside kick before you do it
(so basically this will end onside kicks practically).
All of these rules seem like drastic changes, the NFL has already been a little unloved by public....I think there will be a backlash

The Donkeys did a surprise onside kick to open the season against the Raiders. They did not successfully recover it.

That's surprising to me. The Raiders might have the best kicker in the league. Touchbacks are more punitive now, so maybe they wanted to continue just booting it out of the back of the end zone.
