In American football you can score by getting a safety 2 poi

In American football, you can score by getting a safety (2 points), a field goal (3 points), a touchdown (6 points), or a Point(s) After Touchdown (1 or 2 points, but PAT must follow a touchdown). No team can lose points. What are the possible point values that each team can score?

Solution

1) FIELD GOAL (3 points )

A field goal is scored when the ball is place kicked, drop kicked, or free kicked after a fair catch or awarded fair catch (High School or NFL only) between the goal posts behind the opponent\'s end zone.

2) TOUCHDOWN (6 POINTS)

A touchdown is achieved when a player has legal possession of the ball and the ball crosses an imaginary vertical plane above the opposing team\'s goal line.

3) TRY FOR EXTRA POINTS (1 or 2 points )

A try is more frequently called an extra-point attempt or a PAT (abbreviation of \"Point After Touchdown\"). Either one or two additional points may be scored during the try.

4) SAFETY (2 points )

The uncommon safety is scored if a player causes the ball to become dead in his own end zone; two points are awarded to the opposing (usually defending) team.

5) FAIR CATCH KICK (HIGH SCHOOL/ NFL ONLY 3 POINTS )

A free kick (see above) may be taken on the play immediately after any fair catch of a punt. In the NFL, if the receiving team elects to attempt this and time expired during the punt, the half/overtime is extended with an untimed down.
