Seems like nobody in the NFL was interested in the wacky idea the Colts had for extra point and two point convesions. If a change happens, its going to be based on one of these three proposals.
Quote:
1. The New England Patriots submitted a proposal that would have the ball snapped from the 15-yard line if a team decides to kick the extra point -- making the kick a 33-yard attempt. The two-point conversion is unaffected here.
2. The Philadelphia Eagles submitted a proposal that's similar in that the extra point would be moved to the 15-yard line, but there are two distinct differences: The two-point conversion would be attempted from the 1-yard line as opposed to the 2-yard line, and the defense would be able to score on a turnover. That includes on potentially blocked extra points. Safeties award two points.
3. The last proposal is similar to the Eagles' proposal and comes from the competition committee. It's the same as Philadelphia's proposal save for the two-point conversion, which would still be played from the two-yard line if this one were to pass. Safeties award one point.

Was mentioned on Twitter but the new kicking changes will affect non-dome and cold weather teams a lot more especially late in the season and playoffs.
