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.
