Report: NFL to consider PAT proposals

NFL owners will consider three tweaks to PATs at the league meetings next week in San Francisco.

The proposals submitted by the New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles and the league’s competition committee all involve moving the PAT kick to the 15-yard line, but they have variable suggestions beyond that, according to a report Wednesday by The Associated Press.

The Patriots suggest keeping two-point attempts at the 2-yard line. The Eagles propose two-point attempts begin at the 1-yard line, with the defense able to score two points if it returns a turnover to the other end zone.

The competition committee combines the two other ideas, with the two-point attempt coming from the 2-yard line and the defense able to score two points if it returns a turnover to the opposing end zone.

Rule changes require approval by 75 percent of the league’s owners (24 of 32).
