Question

I just started watching a cfl game it is 21-1 how can you only score one point in a football game?

Answer 1

When you punt the ball and it goes into the end zone, and the return man opts not to run the ball out, it's a single point.

Another way is when you miss a field goal, and the return man (again) opts not to run it out, another single point.

Answer 2

The one point or the rouge is only in the  canadian game.  It is when a feild goal is missed the player returning it in the endzone does not get out or takes a knee.  Also on a kickoff if the player returning does not get out or he takes a knee

Answer 3

a punt in the end zone,or a missed field goal in the end zone

Answer 4

Offence kicks the ball into the endzone. If the team receving dosn't run it out of the end zone offence gets one point.

Answer 5

This has been answered before so here goes again: The single point (or rouge as it's technically called) is given on a missed field goal or punt that goes into the end zone and is not returned out of the end zone.

Answer 6

Could be by kicking an extra point. That's suppossed to be the only way.

Answer 7

in canadian football, if teh ball is kicked out the back of the opponent's endzone, you get one point. Or if a FG attempt is (missed and) kicked into their endzone and they don't bring it out.
