The NFL, which last year extended the height of goalposts, isn’t finished tinkering with them.

The league will move the uprights closer together in an experiment in February at the Pro Bowl, Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer reports. Uprights have been 18 1/2 feet apart since, amazingly, 1920, will be moved to 14 feet apart.

Last March, NFL approved the extension of uprights from 30 to 35 feet, partly to allow officials to better judge the accuracy of kicks. Narrowing them would make field goals more difficult and would “encourage” teams to go for it more often on fourth down.
