give the ball to the ref and celebrate
Scoring a field goal in American football cannot be done in conjunction with a touchdown. They are two independent ways of scoring. You may have meant can you score an "extra point" without a touchdown. In American football, extra points (1 or 2 depending on type of play), can only happen in conjunction with a touchdown. In Canadian football, they may be scored under circumstances not related to a touchdown.
If a player catches a missed field goal attempt while in the field of play, he can return it for a touchdown, resulting in six points. After the touchdown, his team may kick the PAT (Point After Touchdown) and score another one point, or convert the two point conversion for two points.
Touchdown!
A touchdown is scored in American football when a player carries the ball into the opposing team's end zone or catches the ball there. A touchdown is worth six points. Following a touchdown, the scoring team has the opportunity to attempt an extra point (worth one point) or a two-point conversion (worth two points) by advancing the ball into the end zone again from the two-yard line.
In American football, "any other touchdown" typically refers to a touchdown that is scored in a manner not covered by standard scoring plays, such as a safety or a two-point conversion. It can also imply a touchdown resulting from a unique situation, like a defensive touchdown or a touchdown off a trick play. Essentially, it encompasses all touchdown scenarios that fall outside the standard run or pass scoring methods.
A touchdown in American football is worth six points. After scoring a touchdown, the team has the opportunity to earn additional points through an extra point kick (worth one point) or a two-point conversion play (worth two points).
After a touchdown
There are two syllables. Touch-down.
Nothing. This happens more than you may think. Many players keep the football when it is a particularly meaningful touchdown to them (like their first or a record breaking touchdown).
Touchdown - 6 points Extra Point (Point after touchdown) - 1 point Two Point Conversion (after touchdown) - 2 points Field Goal - 3 point Safety - 2 points
Yes, a passing touchdown does count as a touchdown in football.
