Scoring: The object of the game is to score more points than the opposition team. A touchdown is counted as  six points. After a touchdown, the team then attempts to kick the ball through the goal posts to gain an extra point. Because this kick almost always works, most people think of a touchdown as being worth seven points and then subtract a point if the extra point kick is missed. The team that scored the touchdown has the option of trying to get the ball into the opponent's end zone again in just one running or passing play instead of kicking for the extra point. If this 2 point conversion works, they get 2 points instead of just one. This is, however, more than twice as difficult as kicking an extra point. A field goal is worth  three points.

If an offensive player is stopped in his own end zone, the defense scores a safety which is worth two points. This rarely happens. After a safety, the offense must kick the ball to the other team with a free kick where the kicker kicks the ball from his team's twenty yard line. It's called a free kick because the kicker may not be tackled.
