A safety in football is when a player is tackled in their own end zone. This results in two points for the team whose defense made the tackle, and they get the ball.
For example, if the Chiefs have the ball at their own three, and the running back is tackled in the end zone on the play by the Dolphins, then the Dolphins would get two points and they would get the ball.
A safety can also occur if the team that has control of the ball, for whatever reason, loses the ball out of the back of their own end zone.
Safety (S) is an American and Canadian football position played by a member of the defense. The safeties are defensive backs who line up from ten to fifteen yards behind the line of scrimmage. There are two variations of the position in a typical formation, the free safety (FS) and the strong safety (SS). Their duties depend on the defensive scheme. The defensive responsibilities of the safety and cornerback usually involve pass coverage towards the middle and sidelines of the field, respectively.
Every player is required to wear shoulder pads and a helmet with a chinstrap and mouthguard to protect themselves from contact to the upper body and head. In high school, players are required to wear knee, thigh, and hip pads. These pads are provided to pro players but many choose not to wear them for they are cumbersome and reduce speed. There are rules that penalize illegal hits such as helmet-to-helmet contact, late hits (after the whistle or out of bounds), as well as rules that penalize illegal blocks such as chop blocks or illegal cut blocks. These rules all ensure that the game is played out safely and help reduce injury for all.

Definition of a football safety?
A safety occurs when a team which had possesion of the football outside its endzone during a play is tacked in its own endzone. If a punt or kickoff is touched outside the endzone, rolls into the endzone and then downed by the receiving team in the endzone there is no safety, because the ball was not posessed outside the endzone. The rule is often misunderstood - in an NFL regular season game in the '90s, the Giants were awarded a safety when the ball was touched outside the endzone by the receiving team and then downed by the receiving team after the ball rolled into the endzone. The next day the NFL announced that there was no safety. The college rule is the same - possession outside the endzone, and not a mere touching is, is necessary in order for there to be a safety
