NFL owners on Tuesday voted 30-2 in favor to spot the ball at the 15-yard line on point after touchdown kicks, keep the ball at the 2 if teams go for a two-point conversion and give the defense an opportunity to score two points if a blocked kick or turnover is returned across the opposite goal line.
Around the NFL’s Kevin Patra and other outlets reported the vote that occurred as owners met in San Francisco.
The proposal was set forth by the NFL Competition Committee at the Annual Meeting in March when the topic was discussed but tabled until Tuesday’s already scheduled meeting.
