Roger Goodell Comments on Changes to Extra-Point Rule

On Tuesday, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell deemed that the first year of the new 33-yard extra point was a success, per Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith.

More changes could be on the way, as Goodell addressed while speaking to the media:

From a competitive standpoint, this season, more games were decided by one score than ever in our history. That led to great competition and the average margin of victory lower than any time in our history. We’ll continue to try to make the game more exciting as we did this last year with the extra point.
