You cannot return a blocked P.A.T. in the NFL. The play is blown dead as soon as the defense gains possession of the ball. This is also the rule in high school.
In college, however, a blocked P.A.T. can be returned by the defense for two points, assuming they run it all the way back in one play. (If they fail to run it back, the try is over. Then the ball is kicked off by the scoring team as usual.)
The award of points would typically be called "Conversion: blocked PAT return" or something similar, depending on the preferred format of the box score.
Yes. There is no restriction as far as when a kick can be blocked. If a team is trying a very long field goal, the defense may place their tallest player or best jumper at the goal posts to try and swat the ball away.
A try is 4 point, a converison is 2 points and a field goal is 1 point.
Yes, after every try, coversion and field goal.
By scoring a try,getting a conversion or getting a field goal
The goal of the Tash advocacy organization is to create and make known their actions in the legal field. They try to complete various tasks for their goal.
Yes. If a field goal is attempted prior to fourth down and the snap is bad, the ball is not kicked, and the offense keeps possession of the ball, the field goal may be attempted on the next down.
Go for it, punt it, or try for a field goal and 3 points
Yes. You can go for a Field Goal on any down and try again. Except For 4th of course.
According the the nfl.com website once a field goal is missed the other team takes control of the football no matter what down it is.Here's the quote from nfl.com:All field goals attempted (kicker) and missed from beyond the 20-yard line will result in the defensive team taking possession of the ball at the spot of the kick. On any field goal attempted and missed where the spot of the kick is on or inside the 20-yard line, ball will revert to defensive team at the 20-yard line.Doesn't mention anything about downs. No. The reason you might sometimes see a team try for the field goal on 3rd down is in case of a bad snap or something they can spike the ball, throw to a receiver or just run with it and still have fourth down to try the field goal. If the ball fails to cross the line of scrimmage and the offense recovers, they get to kick it again. This usually only happens on a blocked kick. This applies on any down other than 4th. If the offense recovers on 3rd down, the next play would be 4th down. If the offense recovered on 4th down and didn't gain the necessary yards to make a 1st down, it would be a turnover on downs.The above answer is correct. As long as the ball does not cross the line of scrimmage on a blocked kick and the offensive team recovers the ball, the team may attempt another field goal as long as the blocked attempt did not occur on fourth down.
There is no violation. It is the same as a pass
no, they may opt to kick the field goal early to try to beat the clock expiring or to avoid potentially turning the ball over and losing posession. But if they miss, the ball goes over to the other team.
they can get a try for 4 points. a try conversion for 2 points. a penalty kick for 2 points or a field goal for 1 point.
