The moment the game-winning field goal was kicked through the uprights during the kickoff was intense and decisive, as the ball sailed through the goalposts, securing victory for the team.
It is a touchback.
The placekicker is responsible for kicking field goals and extra points. In many cases, the placekicker also serves as the team's kickoff specialist and sometimes punter
The two uprights are treated as if they extend upward to infinity. So the height of the ball as it passes over/through the uprights does not matter.
It is called a Goal. It is worth 6 points. The minor score of a 'Behind' worth 1 Point is awarded for a kick between the main uprights and the outer lower uprights. 1 Point is also awarded if a kick through the Center Uprights is touched in flight by an opposing team player or if it touches the uprights in flight. In other words to get the 6 points it must go untouched between the center uprights.

The different kickoff return positions on a football team are the deep returner, upback, and wedge buster. The deep returner is responsible for catching and returning the kickoff, while the upback provides blocking and support. The wedge buster's role is to break through the opposing team's blocking formation.
nothing, a player will normally be there to catch it and play on. It's not a score because field goals must be attempted on a scrimmage down, not on a free kick like a kickoff. The only exception is the fair-catch kick, which allows you to attempt a field goal immediately after a fair catch. Therefore, if a kickoff goes through the uprights (and subsequently lands out of play), it is simply a touchback for the receiving team.
