Eatman: New PAT Rules Won’t Be Felt Right Away, But During Playoff Stretch

IRVING, Texas -  Something tells me we’re going to be sitting around in Week 5 of the upcoming season and talking about how this next extra-point rule hasn’t really changed at all?

Kickers are still making the kick from 33 yards out instead of 18 and most teams are choosing to opt for the one point instead of the two-point conversion like we’ve seen in the past. I bet there will be some occasional two-point plays run here and there earlier in games, but I would also guess teams with shaky kickers and field-goal units will occasionally go for the two points as well.
