FILE - In this Feb. 1, 2015, file photo, New England Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski (3) makes the extra point after a touchdown against the Seattle Seahawks during the first half of NFL Super Bowl XLIX football game in Glendale, Ariz. While team owners didn't vote on any extra-point proposals Wednesday, March 25, 2015, there was so much discussion and interest in potential changes that the issue will be a main focal point for the next set of league meetings in May.

The NFL is moving back extra-point kicks and allowing defenses to score on 2-point conversion turnovers. New England and Philadelphia also made suggestions on changing the extra point, but the owners went with the powerful committee's recommendation.
