Two weeks ago, 30 of 32 teams voted to move the single-point PAT try from the two to the 15, converting a 19-yard kick into a 32-yard attempt. Two teams opposed the move: Oakland and Washington.
On Monday, Washington executive V.P. of football operations Bruce Allen explained that his team simply didn’t think a change was needed.
“One, we didn’t like the proposal,” Allen said before the team’s inaugural charity golf outing, via Michael Phillips of the Richmond Times-Dispatch. “Two, for 95 years we’ve kicked the extra point from where we did. I don’t know if it needed to be moved.”
Because the change wasn’t made on a permanent basis, 24 owners will have to vote in favor of the move in 2016. Some of them may have opted to give it a try for 2015, reserving the right to align with Allen when it’s time to cast the votes next season.
