If a field goal is attempted on third down and missed do you still get the fourth down?

Answer 1

According the the nfl.com website once a field goal is missed the other team takes control of the football no matter what down it is.

Here's the quote from nfl.com:

All field goals attempted (kicker) and missed from beyond the 20-yard line will result in the defensive team taking possession of the ball at the spot of the kick. On any field goal attempted and missed where the spot of the kick is on or inside the 20-yard line, ball will revert to defensive team at the 20-yard line.

Doesn't mention anything about downs. No. The reason you might sometimes see a team try for the field goal on 3rd down is in case of a bad snap or something they can spike the ball, throw to a receiver or just run with it and still have fourth down to try the field goal. If the ball fails to cross the line of scrimmage and the offense recovers, they get to kick it again. This usually only happens on a blocked kick. This applies on any down other than 4th. If the offense recovers on 3rd down, the next play would be 4th down. If the offense recovered on 4th down and didn't gain the necessary yards to make a 1st down, it would be a turnover on downs.

The above answer is correct. As long as the ball does not cross the line of scrimmage on a blocked kick and the offensive team recovers the ball, the team may attempt another field goal as long as the blocked attempt did not occur on fourth down.

Answer 2

If a field goal is attempted on any down other than fourth, the rules state that once the ball crosses the line of scrimmage the kicking team no longer has possession. This means that if a field goal is attempted on second down and the kick is blocked and the kicking team recovers behind the line of scrimmage, they retain possession. If the ball crosses the line of scrimmage, regardless of whether the kicking team recovers or not, possession goes to the defensive team.

Answer 3

no if you miss a field goal you don't get the ball back. if you miss the field goal because it is blocked and you recover the ball behind the lime of scrimmage you get the ball back as long as the kick was not attempted on fourth down.

Answer 4

Unless the ball does not cross the line of scrimmage, no you can not re-kick on fourth down. Missing the field goal would turn the ball over to the opposing team.

or unless there is a foul and the down is replayed

Answer 5

no you can't, but if you do go for it and have a bad snap then you have another try at it. once the ball is kicked it is gone

ANSWER:

Yes, but only if the kick never crossed the line of scrimmage and the kicking team recovers the ball. Under any other circumstance, the ball goes to the defense.

Answer 6

No you can't. If you kick a field goal and miss it, it is considered a turn-over.

ANSWER:

Yes, but only if the ball never crossed the line of scrimmage and the kicking team recovers the ball.

Answer 7

No, one attempt is all a team is allowed. If they have a bad snap, they can hold the ball, and then attempt a kick on 4th down.

The team could also rekick if the ball never crosses the line of scrimmage and the kicking team recovers.

Answer 8

No they cannot. Unless they tried for a fake field goal and didn't succeed, they wouldn't get the ball back. If the field goal is missed, it's a turnover at the spot of the hold.
