NFL owners have approved the competition committee’s proposal on extra points.
The NFL announced the extra point will now be kicked from the 15-yard line with two-point conversions remaining at the 2-yard line. The new rule also gives the defense the ability to score two points on returns.
The approved rule was one of three proposals considered by owners Tuesday at the NFL’s Spring League Meeting.

The added drama surrounding the extra point could be short lived though. Kickers don’t miss from the 15 yard line either.

PATs from the 15-yard line will equate to a FG try of 32-33 yards. #NFL teams made 59-61 of those last season, up from recent years.
