Default Time to get rid of meaningless PAT - no time left
The NFL being so concerned about player injuries was the reason why most kickoffs now go through the end zone.

However, why if there is no time on the clock and a team is up by more than 2 points do they require everyone to go back on the field and kick a PAT. Teams are starting to take a knee on that play now as well.

Just treat it like an overtime Touchdown. Zero reason to risk injury and shorten the length the game, plus all the logistics of having to get everyone off and back on the field etc.

This has happened a few times this year including yesterdays Eagles/Raiders game.

I know it does not occur that much, but it does occur and a simple rule change.
