The Detroit Lions aren’t just focused on taking the next step as a franchise this offseason. They’ve also prioritized making amendments to the NFL’s list of rules for the 2024 season.
For a second consecutive year, owner Sheila Hamp and the Lions have proposed four rule changes for the multi-billion dollar industry that is the NFL. A year ago, the league chose to adopt just one of Detroit’s rule proposals: the emergency quarterback roster amendment.
Presently, NFL teams have two challenges at their disposal during a game, and can earn a third by winning each of their first two challenges. With this rule proposal, a team would receive a third challenge by simply winning one of its first two challenges. Additionally, a fourth challenge will not be permitted.
Lions defensive tackle Brodric Martin and his fiancée, Teekay Howard, welcomed baby girl Sykila Mae into the world on March 15.
The delivery came about two months after the couple had a romantic photoshoot that was captured by Detroit-area photographer RJ Creations.
“God blessed and entrusted us with one of his beautiful children,” the couple wrote in a joint Instagram post to announce the birth of their baby girl.
In January, the couple posed for some jaw-dropping photos, with Martin shirtless and Howard sporting her baby bump, as the couple appeared deeply in love amid their growing family.
Martin, 24, appeared in three games for the Lions last season, after getting selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Western Kentucky.
