RULES OF ONSIDE KICKS
The NFL has a very specific set of rules governing onside kicks which make it hard for the kicking team to recover the ball. Every football player on the kicking team must be behind the kicker and may not move until the ball is kicked.

There may be no more than five players on each side of the ball.

The ball must travel at least ten yards OR be touched by the opposing team before the kicking team can recover it. If the ball is kicked out of play, the kicking team is penalized and must kick the ball again.


Honestly, I thought SEA onside attempt looked off but couldn't put a finger on it at the time.
