Could someone give a quick description of football?

Question

American football. Like, how many yards to the first down. How many downs. How do you advance the ball and such. A quick, but slightly detailed overview kinda.

Answer 1

Easy

football is a game played with a ball on a rectangular field, 100 yards in length, with goal lines and goal posts at either end. Opposing teams of 11 players each attempt to gain possession of the ball and advance it by means of running and passing plays across the opponent's goal line. A team doing so scores a touchdown, worth six points, and then has the opportunity to kick the ball over the goalpost crossbar for one extra point.

Answer 2

one field, one hundred yards. 11 players on each team. 4 quarters. 15 minutes in one quarter. scoring is in touchdowns (6 points), PAT- point after touchdown (1 point), FG ( 3 points). first down is ten yards. Offense advances ball by rushing the ball or passing the ball. its a very detail oriented game. but this should give u an idea.

Answer 3

It's poor man's Rugby.

Slow and boring

Answer 4

10 yards for first down, carry the ball or pass the ball, if u get a touch down u get 6 point and if u get the field goal which is a kick u get one point. and try not to let the other team get to the end zone.

Answer 5

its the best sport ever

Answer 6

guys chasing each other for a pigskin

Answer 7

two teams attempting to get the ball to the END ZONE for a touchdown by a series of DOWNS. If the carrier can get the ball 10 yards it will become a first down, if not it becomes the 2nd down and 3rd and 4th. If they continue to make first down, they get to continue running or throwing the ball down field. There are many rules that apply to all of that, but thats the basic premise.

Answer 8

People beating and running onto each other for a ball.
