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.

Touchdown is a noun.
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.
A team can receive two points after a touchdown, if they try to get another 'touchdown' instead of kicking for the extra point. It's called a two-point conversion. The team only gets one chance to do this per touchdown, but it's pretty risky. Teams will usually just kick for the extra point.
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.
