some key rule changes since the early 90s:

1. ⁠1993 - they changed it so intentional grounding was no longer called if the QB was outside of the hash marks when throwing if the pass falls beyond the line of scrimmage
2. ⁠1994 - OL were now able to line up with one foot behind the line of scrimmage instead of needing two (modern OTs now do this most plays, gives them an easier time in pass protection matching the edge rusher).

QBs were given transmitters in their helmets so they could hear their coaches talking from the sideline for the first time (this was first trialed by Paul Brown as HC of the Browns in the 50s and quickly banned league wide but then brought back)
3. ⁠1995 - roughing the passer is added as a penalty
4. ⁠1995 - changed rules surrounding WRs pushed out of bounds being able to return to the field mid-play, defenders used to be able to push WRs out and the player could no longer be active for the rest of the play
5. ⁠1996 - illegal contact rules introduced in 1978 are expanded upon and more strictly enforced
6. ⁠2001 - roughing the passer becomes more strictly enforced with an emphasis on late hits
7. ⁠2002 - became illegal to hit a QB helmet to helmet after a turnover, used to be legal for a defender to walk up to a QB and hit him as hard as possible in the head if the offense had just turned the ball over
8. ⁠2004 - illegal contact rules once again tightened
9. ⁠2006 - low hits on QBs when the defender had a chance to not hit low became illegal
10. ⁠2007 - illegal cut blocks on WRs became a 15 yard penalty instead of 5
11. ⁠2009 - penalty against hitting a defenseless receiver added for 15 yards, used to be if the player caught the ball he was fair game
12. ⁠2009 - more definitions added to the low hit rule, used to be legal to role a QB or hit him low if he was already being tackled by another player (the Brady rule, from his 2008 ACL tear)
13. ⁠2010 - defenseless receiver rules expanded to include all players (defenseless player), more strictly enforced and also league threatened more suspensions if safety rules were not followed
