Yes. Assuming that no other points are scored, a team can score 5 points through the following (in any order):
* Getting a field goal (3pts)
* Receiving a safety (2pts)
A field goal is achieved when, in the course of normal play, the coach/manager decides that the team is no longer able/likely to achieve a touchdown but is close enough to the goal line (and the uprights) to kick the ball through to earn three points.
A safety is earned for team A, in the course of normal play, when team A tackles a member of team B who is carrying the ball behind their own goal line.
