Slow down: Colts hoping NFL makes ‘adjustment’ after rules changes slow down offense

Slow pace has Colts hoping for rules changes

INDIANAPOLIS — The NFL finally figured out how to slow down Peyton Manning — change the rules.

One day after the Colts quarterback drew two penalties for illegal snaps at Green Bay, coach Jim Caldwell pleaded with league officials to re-evaluate a recent rules change.

The league this summer decided that players must wait for the umpire to get into a new position in the backfield before the ball can be snapped.

The league says it continues to look at the change and some adjustments may be announced before the season begins.
