The NFL is considering a four-point field goal rule similar to one implemented by the UFL, which rewards 60-yard field goals with an additional point. While kickers like Dallas Cowboys’ Brandon Aubrey and Jaguars’ Cam Little have expressed concerns about the impact on play-calling and traditional aspects of the game, some kickers are intrigued by the idea. The NFL’s recent kickoff rule changes have successfully increased returns and reduced collisions. However, incentivizing longer field goals could shift strategies and diminish the importance of advancing the ball closer to the end zone.
