Football is a game that involves two teams of 11 players. Each team has an offensive unit and a defense unit. The offensive unit is comprised of the quarterback, running backs, and offensive line. The defense unit is made up of defensive linemen, defensive backs, and linebackers.
Football games usually take place on a field measuring approximately 100 yards by 160 feet. The field has five-yard lines and hasten marks at the ends. These markers descend every ten yards until they reach the opponent’s goal line.
Each team has its own playbook. This includes dozens to hundreds of plays. Teams can also have specialized players called “special teams”. For example, the kicker handles kicking plays.
Before each play, the players are lined up at the line of scrimmage. When the whistle blows, the ball is put into play. A player on the defensive side is usually tackled, and the offensive team is awarded first down.
After the play is completed, the team that scored a touchdown is awarded a bonus. If the team fails to score, they can choose to punt or kick the ball from their 20-yard line.
Once the team is given a touchdown, they can choose to run into the end zone or pass the ball to the other team. In the NFL, this is referred to as a touchdown conversion. It is similar to a two-point conversion, and the team that runs into the end zone is awarded two points.
