Football Gameplay Positions-Offense Positions-Defense Field Red is input

Gameplay The team that takes possession of the ball (the offense) has four attempts, called downs, in which to advance the ball toward their opponent's (the defense's) end zone. When the offense succeeds in getting a first down, the team starts a new set of four downs. If the offense fails to gain a first down after four downs, the other team gets possession of the ball at the point where the fourth down ended, beginning with their first down to advance the ball in the opposite direction. Except at the beginning of halves and after scores, the ball is always put into play by a snap.

Gameplay -Each team has 11 players on the field at a time. Usually there are many more players off the field (an NFL team has a limit of 53 players on their roster, all of which can be dressed for a game). However, teams may substitute for any or all of their players during the breaks between plays. As a result, players have very specialized roles and are divided into three separate units: the offense, the defense and the special teams. A touchdown (TD) is worth 6 points. It is scored when a player runs the ball into or catches a pass in his opponent's end zone. A field goal (FG) is worth 3 points, and it is scored by kicking the ball through the goalposts defended by the opposition. A safety, worth 2 points, is scored by the opposing team when the team in possession at the end of a down is responsible for the ball becoming dead behind its own goal line.

Running back- Running backs can also be in either a three point or two point stance and typically run the ball after receiving a hand-off from the quarterback.
