The two-point conversion became part of the NFL in a move designed to liven up a game that last year seemed to be a long-range duel between field goal kickers.
The two-point conversion will be run from the 2-yard-line rather than the 3 in college.It was passed along with two other changes designed to add offense. Kickoffs will come from the 30-yard-line rather than the 35 and will be from a 1-inch tee to prevent kicks that hang in the air almost as long as punts.
Failed field goals will be placed at the spot where the kick was attempted rather than the line of scrimmage. The kicking team will be penalized between seven to eight yards for missing.
