In the NFL there also has to be contact from a player from the opposing team along with the knee of the holder being down. Just like if a running back slips and his knee touches he can get back up and run as long as the other team doesnt touch him.

What is the difference between a field goal and a after point in football?

A punt is when the kicker drops the ball and kicks it before it hits the ground. You cannot score any points on a punt (unless the receiver muffs or fumbles the ball, making it live). A field goal must be kicked off the ground, either by place-kick or drop-kick, and must travel between the uprights to score. A place-kick is where a holder places the ball on the ground for the kick. A drop-kick is where the kicker does not use a holder, and instead drops the ball and kicks it when it touches the ground or as it bounces off the ground.
