Some new tweaks have been made to the game this season, and how timely for the Saints.
Just hours after the New Orleans Saints cut placekicker Shayne Graham, the NFL has instituted a new rule change that directly affects the position he one occupied. Here is the tweet from the NFL's Vice President of Officiating:
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.

Now the ball will be snapped from the 15-yard line instead of the 2-yard line for extra point attempts, which should stand to make them more difficult.
