History

Historical Context

Since the NFL added the two-point conversion in 1994, the play has shaped strategy; a 2015 rule shift moved the extra-point kick back to the 15-yard line and raised two-point attempts from roughly five to eight percent. Today, Washington Commanders receiver Stefon Diggs was fined $14,926 and forced to kick an extra point, a penalty that helped decide a 24-22 loss to Philadelphia.
