I think the main thing they were trying to avoid was: teams with good kickers getting a couple first downs and then kicking for the win. At that point offenses are playing for the field goal, and that's both not very fair for the defense, and not very exciting for the fans. Too often teams got into their kicker's range and didn't even try to keep going for the TD, they'd just kick.

I'll pick for you Raistlin, Broncos. I'm ready for the Patriots to just fade away.
