A touchdown in American football is worth 6 points.
A "TD" in football is a "touchdown" and is worth 6 points. Following a TD, a team has an opportunity to score a "PAT," or point after touchdown. This can be a kick for one point, or a run for two points.
A touchdown is worth 6 points in an NFL football game.
It's Called a PAT (Point After Try I believe) it's a kick after the touchdown, a touchdown is only 6 points to get the full 7 you have to kick a PAT, or you can go for a 2 point conversion worth.....2 POINTS obviously
== == == == 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 single point can only be scored after a touchdown (a touchdown being worth 6 points). The lowest non-zero score a team can have is 2. A "safety" (tackling the other team's ball carrier in his own end zone) scores two points.
No, the kick after a touchdown (that is worth one point) is called a "PAT" (Point After Touchdown) or "Extra Point". A made "Field Goal" is worth three points.
A field goal is worth 3 points, unless it is kicked right after a touchdown then it is only 1.
In the NFL, no. In other levels of football, yes, and it is worth 2 points.
A touchdown in 1911 was worth only 5 points. It wasn't until the following year, (1912), when the rule was changed and touchdowns became a 6 point score.
All touchdowns are worth six points. It doesn't matter how the touchdown is scored, via a pass, a run, or on a kickoff or punt return. After the touchdown, the scoring team receives a "point after touchdown" attempt for one or two extra points.
