In American football, a first down is a gain of 10 yards from the original line of scrimmage. Therefore, in order to achieve a first down, a team must advance the ball 10 yards down the field. The distance required for a first down is reset after each first down is achieved, allowing the offense to continue their drive towards the end zone.
In football, you have 4 down or attemps to get so many yards, a third down conversion is where you failed to get the amount of yards on first down and second down then reach it on the third, making it first down again
10 yards for offensive holding, 5 yards and an automatic first down for defensive holding.
The longest NFL first down and goal distance is 99 yards. The goal line is located at the end of the football field, so it remains the same distance of 10 yards from the line of scrimmage regardless of the field position.
