Part of the ball has to clear the plane in order to score a touchdown.
== == == == When the ball is advanced past the end zone line it is called a touchdown. It is worth 6 points. A touchdown can be scored on offense or defense by any player. A touchdown can also be scored if there is a fumble in the end zone, and the team that scored on that end zone recovers the fumble.
Get the football into the end zone by running or passing
A person needs to pass to a member of their team that person has to run up the pitch and try and get the ball past the goalkeeper and score a goal. If a player scores the goal 1+ goal will be added to their team's score.
A touchdown is when you have crossed the plane of the end zone either by running the ball into it (which you only need to make sure the ball passes the plane), by knocking over the orange post in the corner of the end zone while in possession of the ball (which are in the end zone), or by catching the ball in the end zone (both feet must be in the end zone when caught).
No, such a scenario would result in a safety. However, if you fumble the ball in your own end zone, and the opposing team recovers it, that would yield a touchdown.
Score Touchdown's in the End Zone
AnswerTouchdown by carrying the ball and running over the goal line into the end zone, touchdown by retention of a legal pass in the end zone; kicking the ball through the uprights of the goalposts, and recovering the ball in the opponent's end zone - a safety. touchdown- 6ptsextra point- 1pt (after touchdown)2 point conversion- 2pts (after touchdown-optional)safety-2ptsfield goal-3ptsthere are other ways to score, but they rarely happen.
The ball has to be in the touchdown zone. If it is above the zone it is still a touchdown. Take Troy Polamalu's touchdown on Dec,12,2010. He dived, broke the plane of the goal line but he was holding the football above the zone so it counts as a touchdown. In some cases the ref might not count it.
it is not a touchdown because the ball never broke the plane.
no it will be a safety
The red zone is the area of the field between the opponent's 20-yard line and the goal line. When the offense has advanced into this territory, it is expected that it will score some type of points, i.e. a touchdown or a field goal.
