[1] Teams can score points by advancing the ball to reach the opposite end of the field, which is home to a scoring zone (the end zone) and the goalposts. Teams move the ball down the field by running a series of plays consisting of runs or passes.
Bois also notes in the 2016 video that American football is the largest sport in the U.S., and perhaps the world, where unique scores still regularly occur, as the vast majority of common sports will only allow points to be scored one at a time, such as soccer, baseball, or hockey, or in much smaller multi-point increments as in the case of ...
