Go for to points or kick a field goal for one point after the touchdown this field goal is known as an extra point.
The highest scoring player in NFL history is George Blanda, who was a quarterback, but also a kicker. If you are only interested in passing/rushing points, then I don't know, but a good guess would be Brett Favre--he's the TD record holder for passing and he's more mobile than Marino was, so he probably has more rushing TDs, but this is just a guess.

That is the correct spelling of "touchdown" (a football scoring play).
It depends on the league that you're in. Some give bonus points for catches, tackles or long field goals.The best online fantasy football league manager software allows you to tailor your league's scoring. Most leagues has the following scoring as a basic guidline:Basic Method The first, and easiest method, is the Basic Method. The Basic Method scores points for each player in direct correlation with the number of points the player actually scored during a given game (i.e. - a player who rushes for a 17-yard touchdown scores six points, the point value given by the NFL for a touchdown). The default scoring for the Basic Scoring Methodology is as follows: * 6 pts per Rushing TD * 6 pts per Receiving TD * 3 pts per Passing TD * 6 pts for a ST and Def TD * 3 pts per Field Goal * 1 pt per Extra Point Performance Method The second method is the Performance Method. The Performance Method not only rewards points to a player who is involved on scoring plays, as in the Basic Method, but also rewards a player for yards achieved through-out the game. * 6 pts per Rushing TD * 6 pts per Receiving TD * 3 pts per Passing TD * 6 pts for a ST and Def TD * 3 pts per Field Goal * 1 pt per Extra Point * -1 pt for Interceptions thrown * 2 pts for a rushing conversion * 2 pts for a receiving conversion * 1 pt per passing conversion * 1 pt per 10 yds rushing * 1 pt per 10 yds receiving * 1 pt per 20 yds passing You can also add any of the following categories to you scoring method to make things more interesting.

It symbolizes the person scoring the touchdown is "feeding" his teammates or ensuring when he "eats"(scoring the touchdown), they all, as a team, eat. Hope that explains it!!
No. The extra point is what a team attempts after scoring a touchdown.

You mean the extra point a team tries to get after a touchdown, right? It's one point, so if the team makes a touchdown and the point, they would've made 7 points total :)
