Under the NFL's dynamic kickoff rules, the ball is placed at the kicking team's 35-yard line for standard kickoffs. [1, 2]
However, depending on specific game situations, penalties, or outcomes, the ball can be placed at different yard lines: [1, 2]

Could it be the LOS is considered the 40, where everyone but the kicker lines up? Extra Point is measured 33 yard kick, LOS is the 15, 10 yard endzone, 8 yard kicker. Field goal is LOS+10 endzone + 7 or 8 ball placement. The LOS is the is still considered the 15 for lining up offside.

I am guessing that is what AI is using, but for anybody that knows the game, that question is where they kick off from and that would be the 35, where the ball is actually kicked off from.... IMHO.
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?
I guess its possible to kickoff on the 40 lol.
It is the 35-yard line. But I don't know, I got 9 yards incorrect somehow lol. How many yards was he to the record. The answer 8 isn't right, he wouldn't have the record. He would tie the record. lol

tied for the record still would have had him as the record holder. I got it wrong either way so no dog in this fight, but a tied record is the same thing IMO.

I don't see it that way. Dickserson BROKE the record and now carries that title. Peterson at 8 yards would have just been the footnote since it wouldn't have been the record. He would have met the record. Share the title, but I see it being a NEW record if he hit 9 yards. All depends how you look at things. I can see why I got it wrong, just didn't agree with it lol.

@Mike Olson @Cricket
@JustInTime ~ Are you saying your answer was 40 & it said your answer was wrong, even though it said 40 is the correct answer? If so, that's really crazy! 😲
However, we know the correct answer is 35, so I hope Mike can make the corrections.
LIVE WELL ~ LOVE MUCH ~ LAUGH OFTEN
