Tucker: Give teams point if KO splits uprights

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker advocates a rule change in which teams would get more than a touchback if a kickoff crosses the goalpost.

"The idea is if you split the uprights on a kickoff you get a point or you get rewarded for it in some way," Tucker told The Dan Patrick Show on Tuesday. "The version I like is, you split the upright you get a point. I've also heard that if you split the uprights, and instead of the opposing team starting at the 25, maybe they start at the 10, just to make the game a little more interesting.
