In football, scoring is achieved by getting the ball into the opposing team's end zone for a touchdown, which is worth 6 points. After a touchdown, the scoring team can kick an extra point for 1 additional point or attempt a two-point conversion for 2 additional points. Field goals are worth 3 points and safeties are worth 2 points. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
