Could a Four-Point Field Goal Revolutionize the NFL’s Spring League and Change the Game Forever?
For one thing, when the Giants went ahead with 25 seconds left on a Malik Nabers touchdown catch, would they have considered going for a two-point conversion (another fun tossup play) so that Aubrey couldn’t beat them with the four points of a 60-yarder? Imagine how much more fun that would’ve been than Graham Gano kicking an extra point.
And what about the Cowboys? Consider their situation with nine seconds left at the Giants 49. A gain of more than 7 yards would have taken Aubrey’s attempt out of four-point range and down to 59 yards and three points. Would that have encouraged the Giants defense to defend a more shallow area of the field, assuming Dallas wouldn’t attempt another deep pass to George Pickens? If so, would quarterback Dak Prescott have done just that? The theory of the game would shift.
