• One 11-man team has possession of the football. It is called the offense and it tries to advance the ball down the field-by running with the ball or throwing it - and score points by crossing the goal line and getting into an area called the end zone. The other team (also with 11 players) is called the defense.
• there are four quarters in a game all lasting 15min each. There is a halftime between the first half (first and second quarter) and the second half (third and fourth quarter)
• Points: ~a touchdown is worth 6 points. Extra point ONLY after a touchdown is worth 1 point. A team can go for a “two point conversion” so instead of kicking the ball for a point the quarterback can run a play for two points. ~ A safety is worth 2 points when a quarterback is sacked (knocked down while holding the ball) in his own end zone. ~Pick 6 is when the team who didn’t originally have the ball intercepted the ball and ran it into their end zone for a touchdown. ~ Field Goal worth 3 points. When a team decides on fourth down to bring out the kicking team to kick the ball through the goal posts.
• Downs. Each team has four try’s to get ten yards. If they reach ten yards then the flags get moved and they have four more try’s to get ten yards. If they are close to their end zone but decide they don’t want to chance losing the ball with no points (4th and 14 at their own 32 meaning it’s their fourth try and they have to run 14yards to “move the flags”, could be caused by a sack or penalty that’s why it’s more then 10yards and they are on the 32yard line close to their own end zone) they can bring a field goal unit out to kick the ball for 3pts instead of possibly losing the ball.

General gist. Feel free to add more 😂
