Something awful is happening to NFL kickers. The league moved the snap for extra points from the 2-yard line backward to the 15 and it has completely messed with the 6 inches between their chin strap buckles.

Now everything seems like a pressure kick, even the 33-yard point after attempt. It has turned veteran kickers with the calm of a Buddhist monk into yipaholics.
