Answer 2

The play is dead and the other team gets the ball.

--------------------

Not necessarily, no.

First of all, if the ball bounces off the uprights or the crossbar but still goes through, then the field goal is good.

If the ball bounces off the uprights and is no good, then the rules are the same as for a missed field goal. If the ball is in the field of play, the defensive team can attempt to return it, with the understanding that once the defense touches the loose ball, it is live and can be recovered by either team.

If the ball rolls dead in the field of play and neither team makes an effort to recover it, then the play is over (same as if the ball went out of play) and the other team gets the ball. In high school, they would get the ball at the spot where the ball is dead. (If it rolls dead in the end zone, it is a touchback). In college, they get the ball at the previous line of scrimmage or the 20-yard line. In the NFL, they get the ball at the spot where it was kicked or at the 20.

Answer 3

As long as the ball crosses the goal line it is considered a goal
