KANSAS CITY, Mo. — On Tuesday, the Kansas City Chiefs held their first practice of organized team activities and Cairo Santos attempted a multitude of kicks from 33 yards out, as opposed to 20 yards out. That’s where NFL teams will be trying extra points this fall.
When the NFL in mid-May officially approved the competition committee’s proposal to move extra points back 13 yards, there were no long discussions about it, at least between kicker Cairo Santos and holder Dustin Colquitt.
Instead, the emphasis has been on accepting the change, and getting accustomed to it. That process started Tuesday, when the Chiefs held their first practice of organized team activities and Santos attempted a multitude of kicks from 33 yards out, as opposed to 20 yards out.
