American football is played by two teams of 11 players on a 100-yard (91 m) field. The goal is to advance the ball into the opponent's end zone to score a touchdown (6 points). Teams get 4 downs (attempts) to move the ball 10 yards. If they fail, the other team takes possession.

Touchdown = 6 points. Extra point kick after TD = 1 point. Two-point conversion after TD = 2 points. Field goal = 3 points. Safety (tackling the ball carrier in their own end zone) = 2 points.
