After the touchdown you get 6 points, and get to either go for a field goal(1 point after touchdown (PAT)) or a 2 point conversion, which is either a passing play into the end zone or a running play.

Six. When it comes to points after a touchdown, an extra point adds one to the score. A successful two-point conversion adds two. If a touchdown wins a game in overtime, there is no extra-point attempt.

A field goal, when the ball is kicked through the upright goalposts, is worth three points. If the kick is made directly after a touchdown, it is not a field goal, but is a "try", also called the "point after touchdown" or PAT, and is worth one point.

Three points are awarded - regardless of distance from the goal.

exception in the "point after" attempt. this occurs following a touchdown (worth 6 points) and is only worth one point.
