Teams get four downs to move the ball 10 yards. If they gain the 10 yards, they get a new set of four downs. This can continue indefinitely until either the team scores, time runs out in the half or the game, or the team gives up or loses possession of the ball. In Canadian football, teams get three downs to move the ball 10 yards.
In football, the phrase "1st and 10" signifies that it is the first down and the offense has 10 yards to advance the ball. This impacts game strategy because the offense aims to gain at least 10 yards in four downs to earn another set of downs. Teams strategize plays based on this goal, such as running or passing the ball to move closer to the end zone while also considering the defense's tactics.
In the NFL, if the offense scores a touchdown, the team is credited with a first down. Check any NFL game's play-by-play on nfl.com and count all of the first downs. Now, compare them to the total first downs credited in the box score. If touchdowns were scored by the offense, they must be added to make the totals come out even.
