NFL 2025: A new era dawns?

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.

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?

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.
 
I heard an interesting stat on sports radio this morning.
The Seahawks were the first team since 1978 to score 44 points or more in a game on less than twelve passing attempts.

And now both 2025 first round QBs have to learn a new coaching staff and system for year two.

Like Justin Fields in Chicago and Caleb Williams in Chicago. The Bears ae well known for being incapable of developing QB's, but hard to tell if they ruined Fields, or he's just another OSU QB that is destined to fail in the NFL (Stroud being the one possible outlier).
 
It happens in the NFL all the time. The front office and coaching staff is on the way out and they draft a possible franchise QB. Thus their priority is to save their own jobs, not to develop the QB.
 
Geez.
This is the fourth time Jaxon Dart has been evaluated for a concussion this season.
He's not long for the NFL is this keeps up.
 
Sadly, it's starting to look more the rule than the exception these days, despite all the extra protections put into place.

Stroud has been getting progressively worse since his great rookie year. Probably more than just one reason for that, but he's in a decline (so far). Texans and backup QB Mills beat Jacksonville because Lawrence of Jacksonville fell off his camel and choked. Us Texan fans are quite concerned about Stroud's apparent decline. Time will tell like it always does.
