A team can score an extra point safety in American football by tackling an opponent in their own end zone after the opponent has received the ball from a kickoff or a punt. This results in the team that made the tackle being awarded two points.
If one team scores a Safety and that is the only score in the game, then they win 2-0.
In football, a negative score can be earned by the opposing team if they score a safety against your team. This happens when your team is tackled in your own end zone, resulting in the opposing team being awarded 2 points.
Yes, in American football, a team can score 4 points by kicking a field goal.

NFL teams change possession following each score, as I'm sure you know. After "Team A" scores a touchdown or field goal, they kick the ball to "Team B."One unique aspect of a safety is that it's the only way to score in the NFL while NOT in possession of the ball.So if Team A forces Team B into their own end zone for a safety, Team A gets two points...and the ball still changes possession following a score.
No. A single point can only be scored after a touchdown (a touchdown being worth 6 points). The lowest non-zero score a team can have is 2. A "safety" (tackling the other team's ball carrier in his own end zone) scores two points.
If you are referring to the position, a safety is the approximate equivalent to the free safety position in American football. (The strong safety position is replaced by two "halfbacks", since there are 12 men to a side in Canadian football.) In scoring a safety is the same thing as in American football. If a player is tackled within his own end zone or steps out of the back of his own end zone the opposing team is awarded two points for a "safety" and the tackled player's team is then required to kick the ball off to their opponents.
