I think you start to see teams go for 2 more often now. Teams made extra points 99.3% (1222 of 1230) of the time last year. Teams made 30-39 yard field goals 90.0% of the time last year. That's 1107 of 1230. Basically 100 more misses. And if the kick is blocked, it can be returned for 2 points.

NFL teams made 58 attempts at the two point conversion last year and made 28. While that's only 48%, it makes for interesting decisions because out of 100 tries, 90% of 1 point gets you 90 points and 48% of 2 points gets you 96 points.
