There also will be no kickoffs (the ball will be placed automatically at the 25-yard line) and no onside kicks. The losing team will just start on their own 35-yard-line with fourth-and-10. Play clocks are 30 seconds and every touchdown has to be followed by a two-point conversion attempt. What does that mean?

Play clocks are 30 seconds and every touchdown has to be followed by a two-point conversion attempt. What does that mean? I suppose this means that after a team scores and goes for two, they can either give the other team the ball at their 25 or they can keep the ball at their own 35 in a 4th and 10 situation... Same boom or bust scenario as an onside kick and usually only would be endeavoured by the team that is "losing" / behind in score Edited March 20, 2018 by wakingfane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wanting to see a minor league for the NFL that is based in regional cities/ college towns and is focused on skill /career development. Anxious to see the cities/markets but I trust these guys to deliver football, as opposed to whatever Vince McMahon dishes up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
