American Football is a team sport played primarily in the United States, characterized by two teams of eleven players each competing to score points by advancing an oval ball into the opposing team’s end zone. The game is played on a rectangular field with goalposts at each end. Teams can score points in several ways: by carrying the ball into the end zone for a touchdown (worth six points), kicking the ball through the opponent’s goalposts for a field goal (three points), or tackling an opponent in their own end zone for a safety (two points).
The game is divided into four quarters, and the team with the most points at the end wins. Players can advance the ball by running with it (rushing) or by throwing it to teammates (passing). The use of tactical plays and formations, along with specialized positions such as quarterbacks, receivers, and linemen, makes American Football a complex and strategic sport. The game also involves significant physical contact, with specialized protective gear worn by players to ensure safety. American Football is governed by rules set forth by organizations such as the National Football League (NFL) for professional play, and it is a major aspect of American culture and entertainment.
