Part of the ball has to clear the plane in order to score a touchdown.
In the first days of football when a ball carrier crossed the goal line he would touch the ball to the ground. The touching of the ball to the ground for the score was called a "TOUCHDOWN". This rule still applies in rugby, where a player doesn't score unless he touches the ball to the ground.
football is the child of rugby. When you score in rugby you would have to touch the ball down to the ground, hence the word touchdown.
they help get the ball across the feild and to score a touchdown. they must block the oncoming defenders from tackling the quarterback.
Foreward lateral pass from quarterback to receiver for the touchdown, rush play from the fullback or halfback for the score, quarterback scramble or sneak for the score, defensive interception ran back for the score (pick 6), fumble recovery for the score. Perhaps a safety? Sacking the quarterback or tackling the ball carrier in their own endzone for the score. I think I've got them all.
Safety (tackling the ball carrier while being in his own endzone) and PAT (Point After Touchdown), I think.
The objective of the game is to be the team to score the most points between 2 teams. You score by passing for a touchdown, running for a touchdown (both offense), interception return for a touchdown(defense) fumble recovery return touchdown (defense) safety (defense, the defense sacks the quarterback or tackles the ballcarrier in their own endzone) field goal (special teams, a kicker kicks the ball through the goalposts) extra point (kicker kicks ball through goalposts after a touchdown).
how ever long until the ball becomes dead: -hits the ground -goes out of bounds -fumble/fumble recovery -sack -ball carrier tackled -touchdown it also usually depends on where in the field you are and trying to score a touchdown from that spot.
== == == == When the ball is advanced past the end zone line it is called a touchdown. It is worth 6 points. A touchdown can be scored on offense or defense by any player. A touchdown can also be scored if there is a fumble in the end zone, and the team that scored on that end zone recovers the fumble.
This score will be added tothe team only.
No - this was banned after 1978 when the Raiders deliberately fumbled the ball forward against San Diego for a winning touchdown.
