Turnover on downs In American football , a turnover on downs occurs when a team fails to convert a fourth down into a first down by gaining the required yardage . A team has four chances ( each chance is called a " down " ) to gain ten yard s or to score . Any ground gained during one down short of these ten yards is kept for the next chance . Thus , if a team gains four yards on first down , it then has three chances to gain the six remaining yards . If a team gains the required ten yards , it receives another four downs to gain another ten yards ( an event called a " first down " ) or cross the goal line for a score . Though teams have four chances , in most cases , only three are used . Usually , if a team fails to gain the needed yardage after the third down , it will then punt the ball , offering the opposing team possession , or attempt to kick a field goal if close enough . The opposing team will start their new set of downs to wherever the punt returner can advance the ball prior to being tackled , or where the punt comes to rest , after rolling to a stop . But in some instances , a team may elect to use its fourth down to try to gain the yardage , rather than punt . This is often referred to as " going for it " or " sticking " ( as opposed to " kicking " ) . Factors that may lead to a team making this choice are : " Going for it " has a disadvantage in that if the fourth - down conversion attempt fails , the opposing team will immediately take possession of the ball , thus causing a turnover on downs .
