Missed the kick when we were on the 3 yard line and the other team is on the 20 all of a sudden

Also, other team ran the ball a few possessions later and the clock didn't stop for the 2 minute warning

I've seen that before, I believe it always resets to the 20 after a missed field goal, if they're inside that

NFL and College rules spot the ball at 20 if kick is missed from inside 20 yard line!

For real? How have I not noticed this before. What kind of a dumb rule is that

I'm not sure why either, logistically it doesn't even have a reason.


You could say it's a reward for a defensive stand, but a turnover on downs is also a stand and the ball is left where it happened.

You could say it's an incentive to go for it, but FGs that close are high % and the risk to lose all points is too great, so weak incentive.

You could say it's a way to give the offense some room to work with, but the same logic for turnover on downs kills that.

Maybe its a small reward for the team missing the field goal? any kickoff ending on the 20 is decent. Its definitely a Reward to the defense taking over even though the other team benefits a little

Do they do this for failed 4th down conversion attempts as well? otherwise It makes no sense

I thought, we used to be able to pick kick/punt strategies? I went to change mine to short offside and try to do more on special teams and I couldn't find the option anymore? I remember going for those offside kicks and getting them sometimes????

Nope only on missed field goal attempts, as Raid stated no very clear cut reasoning for why this occurs but this has been a part of all levels of Football for a very long time.
