any player on the offensive team
It depends which endzone. If it's their own endzone, the defense can recover it for a touchdown. If it's the defense's endzone, the offense can recover it for a touchdown.

When commentators and football fans say "breaking the plane" they're talking about the endzone. The first and foremost rule in scoring a touchdown is that the football must break the plane or cross into the endzone some kind of way for anyone to even think about it being a touchdown. If a team runs the ball, it wouldn't matter if the player got his whole body into the endzone. If the ball didn't break the plane as he went in it is not a touchdown. If the ball is passed and is caught by a player who is falling forward out of the endzone and he doesn't allow the ball to break the plane it is not a touchdown.
A rushing touchdown is when the ball is carried into the endzone as opposed to being passed into the endzone.
== == == == 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.
No a touchdown is when a player has complete control of football and they succeed to get the football into the endzone, which is on each side on each side of the field (But you have to run the football into the endzone opposite to you) and then you are awarded 7 points, plus the option of a 2 point field goal kick or 1 point run in. Hope this helps!
I don't think so.
Safety (tackling the ball carrier while being in his own endzone) and PAT (Point After Touchdown), I think.
Yes it would be a touchdown. If the kicking team recovers it and is downed in the endzone or the ball goes out of bounds in the endzone the defensive team will get a safety and receive the ball via free kick.
It depends on whether or not he has the ball in his hands when he hits the ground of the endzone. If it is not in his possession, then it is a fumble and can be recovered by a defender. If it is in his hands and he touches the endzone, then it is a touchdown. If he was in possession of the ball when the ball crossed the goal line, it's a touchdown. As soon as the ball breaks the plane of the goal line, the ball is dead and the play is over. Anything that happens after that is irrelevant.
If a quarterback completes a pass near the endzone, which is then fumbled by the receiver and recovered in the endzone by another teammate, he is credited with a 0-yard touchdown pass to the player that recovered the fumble. Strange rule, but it happens occasionally.
Yes, the moment the ball breaks the plane of the end zone while in possession of an offensive player, a touchdown is called and the play ends.
