Longer extra point attempts in 2015 could be trickier propositions for kickers working in open-air stadiums like the notoriously windy one in Orchard Park.
One of the major pieces of news to come out of the NFL owners' meetings recently was the decision to increase the length of extra-point attempts, turning a 19-yard kick into a 33-yard kick. The goal is to make the point-after try at least marginally more difficult; kickers in today's NFL are still good enough to make the longer kicks with relative ease, but it's not as automatic as the shorter ones.
A point to think about in the aftermath of the change is how it affects teams who play in open-air stadiums in windy locales (like, say, Orchard Park).
