In the NFL Europe League, field goals kicked from over 50 yards are worth 4 points. Kicking a field goal is another way to score points. A safety occurs when the offensive ball carrier is tackled behind his own goal line. When the ball carrier or passer drops the ball, that's a fumble. Any player on the field can recover the ball by diving on it or he can run with it.
Any defensive player can make an interception and run with the ball.
Both fumble recoveries and interceptions can be run back into the end zone for touchdowns. The ball is snapped at the line of scrimmage. Learn about the two sides of the ball, the offense and the defense. The quarterback is protected by the offensive line. Whichever team has possession of the ball is the offense.
