American Football American Football Began in the 1890’s as a new form of rugby There are two leagues ，the AFL American Football League and the NFC National Football Conference ，which together are part of the NFL National Football League Teams in each league play each other. The winners from the two leagues play each other in the Super Bowl final. How to play the game？ Football The two opposing teams place eleven players on the field at one time. The team having possession of the football is the offense whose object is to advance the ball over the defense’s goal line. Football The offense must advance at least ten yards in four attempts called downs otherwise the defensive team gains possession of the ball and thus becomes the offense. Football If the offense believes it will fail to make the requisite ten yards, it will usually kick the ball on the fourth down, so that when the defense takes possession it will be that much farther back from their desired goal. This kick is called a punt. Football A team scores 6 points for a touchdown, running or passing the ball over the opponent’s goal line. At that stage, the team can earn one additional point by kicking the ball through the goal posts, a Point After Touchdown PAT . Football There are four quarters of playing time lasting 15 minutes for each quarter. At the end of an hour of playing, the team with the most points wins. In college football, there could be a tie. But in professional football, the game will continue for additional 15 minute periods until one team scores.
