The 1942 NFL season was the 23th regular season of the National Football League. Before the season, many players left for service in World War II, thus depleting the rosters of all the teams. The season ended when the Washington Redskins defeated the Chicago Bears in the NFL Championship Game.

[edit] Major rule changes

The use of flags on flexible shafts to mark the intersections of goal lines and side lines becomes mandatory.
A clarification to the offsides rule is added: The center or snapper is not offsides unless a portion of his body is ahead of the defensive team's line.
A half cannot end on a double foul. Instead, the period will be extended by one untimed down.
Detachable kicking toes are prohibited.
When an encroachment or false start causes the other team to be offsides, only the initial foul is penalized.
A forward pass that first touches an ineligible receiver may be intercepted.
If the offensive team commits pass interference in their opponent's end zone, it is an automatic touchback.
