Scoring
Touchdown
Crossing the goal line into the end zone with the ball, or catching the ball in the end zone, is
the biggest score in football and worth six points.
Extra Point and Two-Point Conversion
After a touchdown, a team elects to either kick an extra point, worth one more point, or go for
a two-point conversion. The special teams unit takes the fi eld and the kicker must kick the ball
through the goal posts for an extra point. The offense can also score two points by running or
throwing the ball across the goal line with only one down available.
