Could a Four-Point Field Goal Revolutionize the NFL’s Spring League and Change the Game Forever?
A four-point 60-yard field goal scratches both of these itches: The kicking team either gets a point total that’s 33% higher than a typical field goal or it surrenders the ball at midfield or worse.
All of which is to say: It’s cool the UFL is trying to modernize the game, but the league that would be most fascinating to see four-point field goals is the NFL, which has the world’s best kickers.
In the UFL, using four-point field goals is a fun experiment at best, a gimmick at worst. In the NFL, it would be a legitimate competitive weapon.
