NFL should incentivize two-point attempts over extra points

A regular analysis of strategy, decisions and calls that impacted the week of NFL play.

And so it is done. The NFL's new extra-point rule has accomplished its goal. After a league-record 12 misses or blocks Sunday, and 18 over the past two weeks, we can conclude it has made the kick more difficult, added a level of uncertainty to its outcome and cascaded into strategy in ways we might not have anticipated.

Drama is up, without a doubt. But is the play itself more entertaining? Of that, I'm not convinced.
