How do you know how many points for a touchdown or other things like that. Do they subtract points?

Respect the animals and they will rsepect you!

Touchdown = 6 points
Extra Point Conversion = 1 point
Two-Point Conversion = 2 points
Field Goal = 3 points
Safety= 2 points

That is all the ways to score in football. No subtractions.

Sinus Viridis delenda est !

Look for me at every Bears home game. I'm the fat, middle aged guy in the Urlacher jersey.

dont forget the beloved drop kick.

 

When a player lines up deep in a "shotgun" look and drops the ball to the turf and quickly kicks the ball on a hop, if it goes inbetween the uprights it's classified as a field goal and the team is awarded 3 points.

 

Last time it happened was Doug Flutie with the patriots in 2005.

In college football the defense can score 2 pts on a blocked extra point if they run it back across their own goal line.

 

Only in college ball though...
