When do you get 5 points for a field goal?

Answer 1

A field goal (kicking the ball through the uprights at the end of the field) is worth 3 points in American football. There is no "point after" attempt for a field goal.

In contrast, a touchdown (carrying the ball past the goal line) is worth 6 points and allows an attempt for an additional point after touchdown, which closely resembles a field goal.

Answer 2

the scorekeeper mistakenly enters a "5" vice a "3" on the keyboard after a successful field goal attempt.

You'd have to have been playing between 1897 and 1903, when the field goal counted for 5 points!

Answer 3

Only if you played football between 1883 and 1903, when the field goal was worth 5 points!

Answer 4

it's not! A field goal can only count for 3 points!

By the way What the freak were you watching!
