NFL moves extra point back to 15-yard line

The NFL will be fundamentally changing the most boring play in the game. According to Vice President of Officiating Dean Blandino, the owners voted to move the extra point back to the fifteen-yard line. In addition, the two-point play will stay at the two-yard line but can now be returned by the defense for two of their own points.

Important note: Extra point decisions can change after penalties. (e.g. a defensive penalty on a kick, offense can then go for 2 from the 1)

The extra point has been pretty much useless for as long as I can remember, so that's good.
