Could a Four-Point Field Goal Revolutionize the NFL’s Spring League and Change the Game Forever?
In rare cases, those shifts would be downright funky. Would a team facing fourth down at the opponent’s 39 back up 3 yards to turn a 57-yard field goal attempt into a 60-yarder? Perhaps so.

Last year, NFL teams punted 249 times from between an opponent’s 42 and midfield (the range of a 60- to 68-yard field goal). About 37% of those punts resulted in the opposing offense taking over inside its 10.
