    One of the NFL’s staid elements is getting a shake up.

    Extra points will be attempted from the 15-yard-line beginning in 2015, the NFL announced Tuesday. Owners approved the rules change, which makes the extra point a 32- or 33-yard attempt, at the league’s spring meeting in San Francisco.

    Two-point conversions will continue to be snapped from the two-yard-line. However, defenses now can return fumbled or intercepted two-point tries for two points of their own. Blocked extra points can also be returned for two points.

    According to the NFL’s Competition Committee, the extra point change is just for 2015, which could open the rule to be revisited in the future. - See more at: http://www.prosportsdaily.com/artic...-15yard-line-356748.html#sthash.5XzWNb6D.dpuf
