Wouldn't it also be exciting if made FGs remained live?

A tradition was established long ago in football & similar games that play should be interrupted when a goal is scored, and that made sense in most cases, but when they started allowing play behind the goal in various games, somebody should've given a thought to simply recording the score on the fly & continuing from there.

8-4-2 states that after a field goal, the opponent of the scoring team shall designate which team kicks off. It is the same as 8-3-9
