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.

How many points is a blocked field goal returned for a TD worth?

If the defense blocks a field goal attempt and is able to pick up the ball and return it to the end zone it is a touchdown. It would be considered the same as if they picked up a fumble and returned it for a touchdown. Therefore it is worth 6 points.


How many points are scored if the defensive team blocks the extra point and returns it for a touchdown?

In High School, the minute a try is kicked, it is dead, regardless if the kick succeeds, misses, or is blocked behind the line. If there is a fumble on a two point conversion and the defense takes possession, the ball is dead and the try has failed. In the NCAA/NFL, if a PAT is blocked behind the line and possessed, or a two point conversion is turned over (interception or fumbled) and returned into the end zone it adds two points to the defense's score.

What is offensive?

An offensive foul is a foul committed by the team with the ball. For an example: if someone with the ball runs into someone one the defensive team, the ref may call an offensive foul (also known as "charging"). How ever if the defensive player wants to draw those type of fouls they need to "plant their feet" meaning they cannot move their feet, they must be still.But the rule is not perfect, sometimes they ref may call defensive foul (also known as "blocking"). Most blocks are called if the defensive player wouldn't set his feet, immediately jumps in their way, or stand in the "restriction area" (the arc shaped thing under the goal), those should be obvious blocks. NOTE:offensive fouls result in a turn over (other team gets ball).

What does a safety do in football?

A safety in football is when a player is tackled in their own end zone. This results in two points for the team whose defense made the tackle, and they get the ball.For example, if the Chiefs have the ball at their own three, and the running back is tackled in the end zone on the play by the Dolphins, then the Dolphins would get two points and they would get the ball.A safety can also occur if the team that has control of the ball, for whatever reason, loses the ball out of the back of their own end zone.
