A safety is worth 2 points, awarded to the defense.

A safety happens when:

  • A ball carrier gets tackled in his own end zone.
  • A ball carrier steps out of bounds inside his own end zone.
  • A team fumbles, snaps, or throws the ball out of play in its own end zone.
  • Commits a penalty in its own end zone.
