How does a football team score a two-point touchdown?

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.

How many points for a touchdown in arena football league?

How many points are scored if the defensive team blocks the extra point and returns it for a touchdown?

In High School, the minute a try is kicked, it is dead, regardless if the kick succeeds, misses, or is blocked behind the line. If there is a fumble on a two point conversion and the defense takes possession, the ball is dead and the try has failed. In the NCAA/NFL, if a PAT is blocked behind the line and possessed, or a two point conversion is turned over (interception or fumbled) and returned into the end zone it adds two points to the defense's score.


If a two-point conversion is intercepted can it be ran back for a touchdown?

Not in the NFL. Once the offense loses control of the ball -- with an incomplete pass, interception, or tackle -- the play is dead. In college and Canadian football, however, the defense can return the ball and score a 2-point defensive conversion.


When defense blocks the extra point and returns for touchdown for two pointswhat is that called?

It doesn't matter that it is a blocked extra point or an interception or a fumble recovery, if either team scores by possessing the ball in their end zone, it is a 'two-point conversion.'


When was the two point conversion first introduced in HS football?

The two-point conversion in high school football was first introduced in 1988. Before that, high school football only allowed for one point after a touchdown, which was typically attempted through a kick. The introduction of the two-point conversion added an additional option for teams to try to earn two points after scoring a touchdown, giving them an opportunity to score more points in a single play if they could successfully execute the conversion. This rule change mirrored the two-point conversion rule that had been in place in college and professional football for some time.


Define two point conversion?

A two-point conversion is a play in American football where a team, after scoring a touchdown, has the option to try for an additional two points by running or passing the ball into the end zone instead of attempting a traditional extra point kick. If successful, the team earns two points instead of the standard one point for a kicked extra point.
