Football is a fun and entertaining sport. It is a fun way to stay fit. The object of the game is to get down the field and get the ball into the end zone to score six points which is called a touchdown. After a touchdown, you can go for an extra two points or you can just do a PAT for one point. A PAT is when the kicker kicks the ball through the goalposts to earn an extra point after a touchdown. If the kicker is kicking to score a field goal instead of an extra point after a touchdown, then it is worth three points as long as the kicker kicks the ball through the goalposts. After a team scores, the ball must be kicked to the other team.
The first football game in the National Football League (NFL) was played on Nov. 6, 1869. The game was Rutgers vs New Jersey. Most football players make around 6 million dollars after their first contract. That’s a little information about football; a fun competitive game!
