Play from scrimmage A play from scrimmage is the activity of the games of Canadian football and American football during which one team tries to advance the ball , get a first down , or to score , and the other team tries to stop them or take the ball away . Once a play is over , and before the next play starts , the football is considered dead . A game of American football ( or Canadian Football ) consists of many ( about 120 - 150 ) such plays . Specifications . The term is also used to denote a specific plan of action , or its execution , under a particular set of circumstances faced by either team . For instance , the offensive team may be faced with one or two downs left in a possession and still ten or more yards to go to earn a new set of downs . In this instance , they may decide to employ a forward pass . Well in advance of the particular game , a number of different kinds of forward pass plays will have been planned out and practiced by the team . They will be designated by obscure words , letters and / or numbers so that the name of a play does not reveal its exact execution to outsiders . The team ' s coach , or perhaps the quarterback , will choose one of the pre - planned forward pass ing strategies , and tell the team , during the huddle which one has been chosen . Because of planning and practice , each player will know what his role in the play is to be , and how to execute it . This will be the offensive play . Conversely , the defensive team will know that the offense has to cover a good deal of ground in a single play , will expect a forward pass , and will know from earlier study something of the propensities of the offense they face . The defensive captain is likely to call out a specific formation or defensive play , to anticipate and counteract the expected action by the offense . The play . The play will begin with the snap of the ball ( typically but not exclusively to the quarterback ) , and it will end when the effort by the offensive squad to advance the ball has either succeeded in scoring , or has been frustrated by the ball being downed before the aim of the offensive play is accomplished , or by the defensive squad having managed to come into possession of the ball without first downing it . In the event of change of possession during a play , the team newly in possession of the ball may try to advance it toward their opponent ' s goal , which the team formerly in possession will naturally resist . Change of possession during a routine play may occur by interception or by fumble . Change of possession may also occur in other ways . A change of possession can occur " on downs " , if the offensive team fails to achieve a first down or a touchdown in four attempts . Another way is through a change of possession play , when the offensive team , having surmised the unlikelihood of scoring or achieving a first down within four attempts , kicks the ball away in what is known as a punt . Kickoff s and field goal attempt s are not considered true change of possession plays .
