A team gets 2 points for a Safety in the NFL, which is earned by:
- Tackling the ball carrier in his own end-zone.
- Forcing the ball carrier to fumble in his own end zone and having it go out of bounds in the end zone
- Lateral in the end-zone that goes out of it
- Blocking a kick and having the ball go out of play in the kicking team's end-zone
- The ball carrier downs the ball intentionally in his own end-zone.
Free kicks are performed from the 20 yd line, whereas a kickoff is performed from the 30 yd line. So in addition to the insult of being tackled or screwing up in your own end zone and giving points to the defense, the team that screwed up has to kick the ball in a manner that normally gives the opposing team excellent field position on the free-kick return.
