NFL 2025: A new era dawns?

Lawrence fumbles on the final play, Texans return it for a TD. What determines if they have to go for the extra point or not? The score?

Maybe the offense can decline to run a conversion if the clock runs out?

I saw a game where the team kneeled on the extra point with no time left to end the game because they didn't want the other team to possibly block and return for two.

Cardinals at Seahawks:

In the 1st quarter, Tyrice Knight hits Jacoby Brissett for a fumble and DeMarcus Lawrence returns it for a touchdown.

In the 2nd quarter, Tyrice Knight hits Jacoby Brissett for a fumble and DeMarcus Lawrence returns it for a touchdown.

Mostly. According to TotalProSports.com, the average percentage of successful 2-point conversions is around 47.5%, roughly half of the 95% success rate of an extra point. So it’s a choice between a coin flip vs a nearly-sure-thing, but if an offensive team has a hard time in the red zone in general, the chances decrease precipitously and probably isn’t worth the trouble.

I think it was more a matter of there being no conversion attempt at all. When a team scores with 0:00 at the end of the game.

Trump. Now I feel dirty watching the game.

Total domination by my Rams today.

Nothing I love more than beating the 49ers.

Steelers 3, Chargers 2 in the 2nd quarter.

It's nice to see the AFC East standings looking normal again.
