s of games?

Will probably see less games go to overtime.
If you miss one or two XP's a game, you may not have a chance of game tieing drives.

No, it will make extra points more important now. You may even start to see situations where a false start forces a team to consider going for two more frequently. Moving it back is probably the smartest thing they've done in recent history IMO.

I like my extra points as a formality, thank you very much.

You won't have a job as a kicker for long.

FGs from 33 yards are still hit at a 93% clip

The idea of making extra points more important is maddening to me, I hate it.

They've had this rule in the CFL all year. Makes the games way more exciting. More teams going for 2 as well.

Currently the kickers are hitting at about 75-80% on single point converts, while 2 point converts are going at 65-70%.
