NFL teams change possession following each score, as I'm sure you know. After "Team A" scores a touchdown or field goal, they kick the ball to "Team B."
One unique aspect of a safety is that it's the only way to score in the NFL while NOT in possession of the ball.
So if Team A forces Team B into their own end zone for a safety, Team A gets two points...and the ball still changes possession following a score.

What is the free kick rule in pro football?
Following possession of a kickoffWhen a team has forced the other team to punt away, and calls a fair catch, they are entitled to take a free kick (fair catch kick in the NFL). This is basically a kick off the ground from where you caught the fair catch. This is different from any other kick because there is no snap and the defense does not rush the kicker.This is only of use if there is little or no time remaining and the ball is caught within field goal distance, which would be the intent of the kick. The kick is taken from the yard line of the catch, not from behind a line of scrimmage.Following a safetyA team that gives up a safety delivers a free kick from its own 20-yard line, either from a punt, a placekick without a tee, or a dropkick. A safety scores 2 points and possession from the free kick.
