The goal after touchdown (aka extra point) was among football's most controversial features. Its point values and process often changed to fit the desires of the time.
Was the term "singleton" for an NFL point after touchdown conversion by run or pass, prior to the two point conversion a common usage? The only instance of the term for this type of play was in this highlight video by Pat Summerall. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/WjW7M_bgWgA

Thanks.
I did some searching in the newspaper archives, but since Singleton is a surname, it dirties up in the search results. I'll do a bit more searching.
Thanks for the help. I can't believe that the term would have just been coined by the highlight show writers (or Summerall).
