FA SCORE

TOUCHDOWN

It's the highest score in American football. THE Touchdown (TD) happens when the ball crosses the starting line of the End Zone. It can be through a run or through a pass, remembering that the player can receive a pass already inside the End Zone. Unlike round ball football, in the oval ball it is enough for a part of the ball to cross the line for the TD to be given.

Value: 6 points

EXTRA POINT (XP) AND TWO-POINT CONVERSION (2PT)

Value: 2 points

Extra Point or 2 Point Conversion - After scoring a Touchdown, the team that scored receives a bonus chance to increase the score even further. The oval ball is placed a short distance from the End Zone and the team that scored the TD (Touchdown) has two options: 1) Extra Point - Extra Point or 2) Two-Point Conversion - 2-Point Conversion .

1) Extra Point - Extra Point

In XP the Kicker will kick the ball between the goalposts, the “Y” at the bottom of the End Zone. If correct, the team scores 1 more point.

2) Two-Point Conversion - 2-Point Conversion

Choosing 2PT, the team will have to score a “mini Touchdown”, making the ball reach the opposing End Zone. If successful, add 2 points. This option is usually chosen when the team is far behind on the scoreboard and there is little game time left.

Value: 1 point

FIELD GOAL (FG)

This is when the Kicker manages to kick the ball between the "Y" posts during the match.

Attention , different move from Extra Point, because XP only occurs after Touchdown.

Curiosity: To calculate the distance of a Field Goal it is necessary to take the line of scrimmage and add 17 (10 yards from the enzone + 7 yards from where the ball will be held for the kicker to kick). Field Goals are considered easy if they are between 18 yds and 40 yds. Over 50 yards are considered tough (the longest kick in NFL history is by Matt Prater – 64 yards playing for the Broncos against the Titans in 2013).

Value: 3 points
