The NFL has discussed experimenting with a longer extra point during the preseason, reports NFL.com’s Judy Battista.According to the report, the league’s competition committee held preliminary talks last weekend and discussed placing the ball at the 25-yard line for the kick, which would essentially make every extra point a 42-yard attempt.Currently, the ball is placed at the two-yard line on extra-point attempts.In 2013, kickers missed only five of 1,267 extra-point attempts, a 99.6 percent success rate. Twenty-seven kickers hit 100 percent of extra-point attempts last season.In January, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the competition committee might eventually get rid of extra points in favor of a revised scoring system. http://tracking.si.com/2014/03/03/nfl-experiment-extra-point-attempts-longer/?eref=sihp
