Nothing has been changed as far as helmets are concerned. NFL players are notorious for not buckling all the points up on their chin straps. At best you'll see a player only buckle up two out of four straps up. Of course, player in the NFL will sacrifice whatever in the name of getting an advantage or for laziness sakes. That's why you see players who don't where knee and thigh pads.

It's a bit silly to not strap up correctly...especially if you happen to have a play called for you because the NFL has adapted the NCAA rule which blows a play dead if the player in possessino of the ball has his helmet come off.
