The Best NFL Flag 2-Point Conversion Plays

The extra-point try is one snap for the game on the line. You want your highest-percentage rub or fade, a play repped so many times it works under pressure. These are the calls that steal points when it matters most.

Coaching tip: Pick one two-point play and make it your automatic. Rep it every practice so that when the game is on the line, your team runs it without thinking.

Return

Bunch Left
Your automatic

The return rub frees a receiver clean at the goal line, the highest-percentage call versus man.

Coaching point: Bunch releases sell vertical, then the pick man returns to the flat wide open. Rubs the man defenders off naturally.

Smash

Trips Right
Fade or hitch

A two-way go: fade to the pylon or the hitch underneath, the quarterback takes what the corner gives.

Coaching point: High-low on the corner defender. Hitch holds him low, corner route beats him deep. The premier red-zone concept.

Spot

Bunch Right
Triangle overload

Three routes into one defender is the safest read in a short-field, one-play situation.

Coaching point: Triangle stretch from the bunch: corner up, spot sits, flat runs out. Overloads one defender three ways. Deadly in the red zone.

Quick Slants

Spread Right
Best-matchup slant

Isolate your best receiver on a slant and win the snap.

Coaching point: Three-step timing. QB throws off the back foot to the first open slant. The best blitz beater in flag.

Common questions

What is the best 2-point play in NFL FLAG?

A rub like the return concept. It frees a receiver clean at the goal line versus man and is the highest-percentage call for a single high-value snap. Rep it so it works under pressure.

Should I go for one or two in flag football?

It depends on your league point values, but a well-repped rub or fade converts the two-point try often enough that many coaches go for it when they trust their play. Have one automatic call ready.

How do you practice conversion plays?

Pick one or two conversion plays and rep them every practice from the exact distance your league uses, so the team can run them automatically with the game on the line.
