history: I like watching American football. That's cool. It's a game with eleven players on each side and a rectangular field. How do teams score points? Points are scored by advancing the ball into the opposing teams end zone for a touchdown or kicking it through the opponents goalposts for a field goal. Good question! That sounds like fun. What are the origins of football? It evolved from rugby football and from the sport of association football. So, it's a rough sport. Are injuries common?
knowledge: The first match of American football was played on November 6, 1869, between two college teams, Rutgers and Princeton, under rules based on the association football rules of the time.
