NFL goals are not the place where they are used to: Here is the reason

(Nexstar) – No matter whether you are an observer from the American Football Association or this is your upward view season, there is a piece of the field that you may be very comfortable with: goalkeeper.

It is bright yellow and found on both ends of the field. The kicking of the ball through the goal goals will lead to an additional or three point, and the loss of the 18 -foot to 6 -inch hole will lead to chants or chants, depending on the team for which it is chanting.

However, like many things in the American Football Association, goals have evolved over time.

Initially, the position and design of the goals of the American Football Association in the late nineteenth century was inspired by the Rakbi game, according to the Football Celebrity Hall. They appeared as a shape, and it was located on the goal line. At the width of the slides below, you can see a newly Rajabi field and photograph a football field (albeit a collective field) in 1912 on the right. You can see in each of the goals of the targets on the line before the end area (or try the area, in the rugby game).

In the late twenties of the twentieth century, the American Football Association pushed its goals to the final line, the back line of the end area, as we see today. This was according to the rules of NCAA, which the American Football Association was following at the time, and the Celebrity Football Hall showed.

This led to fewer field goals and more tied games, according to the league. When the US Football Association wrote its own rules in 1933, it decided to move the posts forward again to the goal line. This, of course, caused more field goals and tie games less.

You can see those field goals available at the SIM show below: First, a copy of the 1956 championship game between the New York and Chicago Birz giants at the Yanki Stadium, and the second, which is the 1958 match between San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Cabbash.

NFL Tawts will stand on the goal line for more than three decades, according to the Celebrity Football Celebrity Hall. Then, in 1966, the base changed again.

This time, the goal goals had to be compensated for the goal line. Although you cannot know the pictures of Super Bowl I below, the rules also imposed that the posts are bright golden.

Initially, the goal goals were still the shape H that they started at the end of the century. But before the 1967 season, the American Football Association asks the goal goals to have the shape of a “ropes shot”, and looks like the posts we see today.

You can see some examples of these goals, “Sing-Shot” at the display of slides below.

Players and broadcasters at the time indicated that the goal goals on the goal line can be used or near them as an “additional barrier” on running and crossing patterns in the inner area, according to SPORTS Illustraated reports.

It was not until 1974 that the goal goals would go to the finish line in an attempt to force crimes to play to land instead of field goals. At the time of this step, the celebrity hall reports the field goals had been increasingly searched. In the season, the jobs have already moved back, more than 860 field goals were attempted. This decreased to 553 next season.

Paul Brown, Hall of defamation coach, told Si:

The goals have remained on the finish line since then. The current American Football Association’s rules book imposes that its goal tools are 10 feet over the 18 -foot and 6 inches. The levels, or bars on both sides extend, at an altitude of 35 feet and have a diameter of three and four inches. The goalkeeper should also be lined “in a league” way.

The current target publishing sites do not seem to deter the field goals attempts. The American Football Association statistics show more than 1,000 field goals that have been tried this season. More than 900 was successful.
