I think you missed my main point entirely. Football has different ways to score points and you get different amount of points depending on how difficult the objective you achieved was. A single is less difficult to get then a field goal thus it is worth 1/3 of the points in the same way a field goal is less difficult to get then a touchdown and is worth less points accordingly. In your example if the kicker can actually kick the ball 67 yards then the offense and the special teams did enough to score one point and win the game. Which is no more of a joke then the team that kicks a field goal at the end of a 2 point game to win it instead of scoring a touchdown.
