How would it change the game? Would scoring go down or up or would it stay the same? Would receivers and defenders get larger or smaller?
I think the game might get more interesting. You wouldn't have annoying flags getting thrown all the time, and I wouldn't mind seeing players fighting for the ball downfield. You'd end up with big, strong guys like Kelce swatting defenders away like biplanes at the Empire State Building, and then you'd have little fast guys like Tyreek breaking free against the bigger defenders that would evolve.
I think it would return balance to the running game, reduce total offense, but perhaps more big plays. Thoughts?

No because teams like the Pats would push it to the extremes and erase passing all together in the NFL.
Plus all leagues want scoring, that is what sells tickets. Great D performances are considered boring by casual fans.
