they kicked the ball into the net
Contrary to popular belief, the clock does not start when the ball is kicked-off. Rather, it starts when any player on the field touches it (after it was kicked). If the ball is kicked out of bounds (either across the sidelines or beyond the end zone), no time comes off the clock, because the clock does not start. In such a case, the clock would start when the first play is snapped fromscrimmage.
I believe this IS allowed in the NFL so long as the ball leaves the kicker's foot before crossing the line of scrimmage. I can't recall though ever seeing this type of kick DONE in an NFL game. ---- A field goal is attempted when the ball is placed on the ground for the kicker to kick or when the ball is dropped to the ground and kicked once it touches the ground and starts its bounce back up. In other words, the ball must have touched the ground or is touching the ground when the kick is attempted for the attempt to be considered a 'field goal attempt'. A punt occurs when a kicker kicks the ball before it has touched the ground. No points can be scored by a punt. So the answer to the question, as I understand it, is no. No. If a punted ball travels through the uprights, no points are scored. The ball has to make contact with the ground before it's kicked to score points, either by placekick or dropkick.
what do you mean? it depends the way you kick it. Most of the time it's kicked in a straight line and other times, it's kicked in a curved shape or parabola, because you're not capable to kick it straight.
there are a lot but the main ones include: -no off sides: meaning if you don't have the ball you cant get behind the last line of the other teams defense -no hands: meaning you cant use hands -throw ins: to throw the ball back in you must through the ball over your heads fully but keep both feet on the ground - corner kicks: the ball is kicked out on the sideline that the ball is on by your own team that's a corner kick meaning the ball is kicked on the corner
