The new rule for post touch-down kicks was passed today and will be in effect for NFL 2015. The only teams that voted against it were Oakland and Washington.
Extra points will be attempted from the 15-yard-line beginning in 2015, the NFL announced Tuesday at its spring meeting in San Francisco. Owners approved the rules change, which makes the extra point a 32- or 33-yard attempt (as compared to the current 19 or 20-yard attempt with a 99% success rate).
Two-point conversions will continue to be snapped from the two-yard-line. However, defenses can now return fumbled or intercepted two-point tries for two points of their own. Blocked extra points can also be returned for two points.
