This league has just begun! Because this is a new league, it will be a few days before the allocation draft begins (the countdown timer above shows when the first pick will fire). This is a great time to get a team as you will be able to build it from scratch! If you don't want to wait for the draft, though, check to see if there is a team in an established league that you can take over.

NOTE: As of the last sim, this league was under the minimum 20% capacity. Invite your friends to join MyFootballNow to keep this league alive! Then send them to this league to become the owner of a team! The league will expire at 8/01/2025 8:00 am.

Why didn't he return the kick?

On returns, a defender need not be anywhere near him but if it's perpendicular, it seems to equal no return, and a fair catch. The second one was even worse, he had blockers galore in front of him.

Any idea why this is happening?

1st one i'm guessing called fair catch as the gunner was approaching which is realistic
2nd one was a kickoff into the end zone in the 1st quarter, you will rarely see a team run out of the end zone in this situation

Kickoff touchback as a non-zero probability if the ball is caught in the end zone at all, the deeper the catch the higher the probability.
