A safety is now possible for either team and will be worth 1 point. Rule 11-3-2-c states, "If the try results in what would ordinarily be a safety against either team, one point is awarded to the opponent."

In the past in the N.F.L., if an extra point was blocked, the ball was declared dead if a defender got hold of it. Under the new rules, he can try to return it, possibly all the way for a [safety], which would be worth 2 points.

Perhaps a defensive player recovers the ball in the field of play, and while returning it he retreats into the end zone and is pulled down there. That will be a 1-point safety for the kicking team.

Seems like an extremely specific rules only for the points after TD and only if they get the ball outside their end zone and go backwards into the end zone...

NCAA had a rule that the defense could get 2 points if they blocked the PAT and returned it to the end zone. Illinois did it once. I was listening to the call on the radio. It was pretty crazy. You are upset about the TD but then glad for the 2 points. Hoping for a td on the next possession. Alas it was IL so they lost anyway. I think it was a game against Iowa and nobody likes IA.
