After a touchdown
Although it is not possible to score only one point in an NFL game in college football it is possible to score only one point. It has never happened, but it would involve a return by the defense on a extra point attempt. If the defense made a return on a blocked kick, fumble, or interception (all dead plays in the NFL on an extra point conversion), fumbled the ball before scoring at the other end, and the offensive conversion team recovered it then went back into the end zone and was tackled, it would a one point safety for the defense.
If a team attempts a two point conversion after scoring a touchdown and the ball is fumbled and recovered by the defense or if a pass is intercepted by the defense who then run the ball back to the other end zone the defense team will be credited with the two points. This is called a defensive conversion. Note that this rule only applies in college football. In the NFL, the defense can't score on a point-after attempt.
This question would depend on which league was being discussed. In some leagues it is a scoring opportunity, and in others it is not.In most leagues, including the NFL, no, the intercepted two-point conversion cannot be returned for points by the defense.
yes it is.
Cleveland Browns against the Cincinnati Bengals on September 4, 1994. The Browns actually faked a PAT kick and holder Tom Tupa ran into the end zone for the first NFL two point conversion.
The NFL began allowing 2-point-conversion attempts in 1994.
in the NFL the ball is immediately dead if it is intercepted on a 2-point conversion...the defense can never score on a PAT
In NFL ball is dead. In NCAA live ball: On a one-point try attempt, Team A's kick is blocked. The ball is advanced by runner B1 across Team A's goal line. RULING: Award Team B two points (Rule 8-3-1).
TOM TUPA
2 point conversion
I belive it was 1992 and the NFL adopted it from the USFL of the 80s.
The extra point can always be attempted regardless of the time left on the clock regardless of the time left on the play clock. And in the NFL, the officials actually require the PAT to be attempted, since playoff tiebreakers can sometimes come down to point differentials.
