Much like the NFL, the Canadian Football League changed its extra point rules this year. But the CFL made more radical changes, with an immediate impact when the league opened its season on Thursday night.
The first touchdown of the 2015 CFL season was scored by the Montreal Alouettes, and after that touchdown the Alouettes missed their extra point kick. A missed extra point was rare in the past in the CFL — 99.4 percent of extra points were successful last season — but this year the CFL has moved the line of scrimmage on extra point kicks back 20 yards, from the 12-yard line to the 32-yard line.
