Adam Vinatieri Dislikes the New Extra Point Rule

For some reason, the NFL doesn’t think their brand of football is nearly exciting enough. They are constantly tinkering with the rules and are this year have set their sights on changing the extra point attempt.

The NFL owners approved the Competition Committee’s proposal to move the extra point attempt following a touchdown from the 2-yard line back to the 15-yard line. A team attempting a two-point conversion will still get the ball at the 2-yard line and defenses can now score on either play if they force a turnover.

The NFL is hoping to inject some more excitement to a play that is normally automatic.
