@ow3n_sun It’s not a bad idea considering if they miss other team has good field position.
@joshjaydee Stupid rule change. The field goal is supposed to be half of what a TD is worth and then the extra point attempt gives that advantage.
@kartingioso Teams gonna be going backwards to get more points at the end of the game 😂
@maxstewart This will ruin parlays everywhere
@jakedonadee Lowkey those field position flips on misses👀
