Defenses can return a blocked PAT or turned over 2pt conversion for a safety.

I went to see my old high school on Thursday. They were up by 2 with a minute left. The opponent went for two. However, they had a miscue on the play, due to intense pressure, and the RB tossed the ball directly into the hands of one of our players. Our player returned it for a safety/2 pt conversion.

I love this aspect of HS and College. I wish the NFL would implement this scoring option. It would make games more interesting for sure.

I don't like it. The point of the PAT is to reward the offense for scoring a TD by giving them a chance to add an extra point or 2. I don't think the defense should be rewarded for blocking a PAT(and returning it) because they gave up the TD in the first place. In a way I think it cheapens the game to give the defensive team a 2 point safety for this type of play. I prefer the typical safety of tackling on offensive player in the endzone.
