In the NFL, teams earn points by scoring touchdowns (6 points), field goals (3 points), or extra points (1 or 2 points). The team with more points at the end of the game wins. The point system determines the winner of the game by rewarding teams for their offensive performance and penalizing teams for allowing their opponents to score.
