Objective • The objective of the game is to score more points than the opponent during the allotted time • The offense tries to move forward the ball down the field-by running with the ball or throwing it – Scoring points by crossing the goal line and getting into an area called the end zone. • Defense tries to stop the offensive team and make it give up control of the ball. – If the team with the ball does score or is forced to give up control, the offensive and defensive teams switch roles • And so on, back and forth, until all four quarters of the game have been played.
Scoring • TOUCHDOWN = 6 POINTS – To score a touchdown, the ball must be carried across the goal line into the end zone, caught in the end zone, or a fumble recovered in the end zone • EXTRA POINT and TWO-POINT CONVERSION = 1 or 2 POINTS – Immediately following a touchdown, the ball is placed at the opponent's two-yard line, where the offense has two options • FIELD GOAL = 3 POINTS – For a field goal to be "good", the kicker must kick the ball through the goal-post uprights and over the crossbar. The defense tries to block the kick and stop the ball from reaching the goal post. SAFETY = 2 POINTS – A safety occurs when the offensive ball carrier is tackled behind his own goal line.
