If the NFL adopts an odd rule proposal from the Colts, a nine-point game will be a one-possession game.
The Colts will propose a new rule at next week’s league meeting that would allow teams to try for a “bonus point” after a successful two-point conversion. So if a team lines up for a two-point conversion attempt and succeeds, that team would then line up at the 32-yard line and try a 50-yard field goal. If the kick is good, the team would get one point, for a total of nine points on the possession: six on the touchdown, two on the conversion and one on the bonus kick.
The proposal is, for now, just to try the rule during the preseason. If it’s successful in the preseason, in the future it could be considered in the regular season. It’s not unusual for the league to try out new rules in the preseason; last year the league experimented with making extra points harder in preseason games.
Change for the sake of change is terrible.
Having said that, teams would go for 2 100% of the time with this rule in place.

Especially dome teams, seems like the EV would tell you to go for 2 virtually every time.

Early in the games sure but if you have a 3 point lead with less than 2 minutes left and score a TD you are going to take the extra point to put you up 10 and lock in the win.
ETA: which is probably why they want to do it. Going for 2 and 50 yd FGs are more exciting than extra points.....by far.
