How many yards does the offensive team need to earn a first down?
If there are no penalties the yardage needed is ten (10). Penalties on either offense of defense can alter the number of yards needed but the standard is ten. For example, if a first down is initiated at the 20 yard line and your team is going towards the other team's goal (to score), your team would need to get to the 30 to get another first down. Your team would have 4 downs to accomplish this but often use the 4th down to punt the ball to the other team. The scenario just described does not include penalties which can award an automatic first down or set your team back any number of yards depending on the penalty.
