NFL ready to change 'dull' PAT
PHOENIX — It’s the dullest play in football, the one when viewers head for the fridge, fans in the stands head for the concessions. Even some of the players don’t pay attention when the extra point is being tried.
The NFL’s answer: Spice it up.
Yes, the extra point appears headed for some changes, perhaps significant ones, for the 2015 season.
Among the possibilities are moving the line of scrimmage back for PAT kicks or placing the ball on the 1½-yard line for a 2-point conversion.
