NFL rule changes: extra points moved back, two-point conversions returnable

The job of Buffalo Bills kicker Dan Carpenter just became a little more challenging.

On Tuesday evening, the NFL's vice president in charge of officiating, Dean Blandino, announced that the league had agreed upon a significant rule change for the 2015 season: extra points will now be spotted at the 15-yard line.

The extra point rule for 2015 just changed. Snap for kick from the 15-yard line, 2-pt try stays at 2-yard line and defense can return.
