Time to Narrow Football Goalposts?


The Minneapolis Star-Tribune says with field goal accuracy rates at an all-time high, people around the NFL are wondering if it’s time to narrow the goalposts. Goalposts in the NFL have been 18 feet, 6 inches wide since the league was formed in 1920. Back in 1943, Ward Cuff led the league with a 33.3% accuracy rate. This year’s top two kickers have made over 90% of their field goal attempts.
