I was rewatching highlights of our first two games. And noticed we have gotten alot more celebration after TDs. The pick 6 specifically the entire team gathered. Did the NFL lighten their rules up?

Yep, new rules for 2017. You can use the ball as a prop, go to the ground, and have team celebrations.

Yes it is a breath of fresh air to allow the players to celebrate after scoring.

Although I am still not used to it and I was expecting a flag every time the players did something with the ball or in a group.

Awesome thanks. It's a step in the right direction. I was left scratching my head at the hypocracy of A: making PAT's longer to "make it an exciting play" While simultaneously B: making it illegal to jump the line aka one of the most memorable and exciting plays we saw "Kam- Garoo" or Wagners hops anyone?

Next order of business simplifying what is and isn't a catch. But celebrations are a good start.
