NFL Eyeing UFL's Four-Point Field Goal Rule? League Rumor Mill Heating Up

The UFL made an interesting tweak to the rules in 2026, boosting the points for a 60-yard field goal from three to four. That's not just a minor adjustment - it's the kind of thing that gets NFL brass thinking.

Nothing official yet, but the rumor mill is churning. Stay locked in.
