	Drop kick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Drop kicks have exceptionally been up to 60-70 metres long in the past in rugby, though being able to perform a 50 metre drop kick is considered a significant achievement.
		The only execution of the drop kick in recent years in the NFL was by Doug Flutie, reserve quarterback of the New England Patriots, against the Miami Dolphins on January 1, 2006 for an extra point after a touchdown.
		The kick was considered a drop kick and it led to a change of possession and the team that punted regained possession of the ball.

	Field goal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A field goal or dropped goal (usually abbreviated to "drop goal" in speech) is scored by drop kicking the ball above the crossbar and between the uprights.
		A dropped goal is worth three points in rugby union and one point in rugby league (in league, more commonly known as a field goal); conversions are worth two points in both codes.
		A drop kick is made when the kicker drops the ball and then kicks it when it bounces off the ground.

	Drop kick by John T. Reed
		A drop kick is defined as one in which the kicker drops the ball onto the ground and kicks it while it is still in contact with the ground or after it makes contact with the ground.
		The drop kick quick kick field goal would make more sense at the high school and youth levels because the kickers there are used to using the two-inch block and the absence of the block on the field would generally persuade the defense that no field-goal attempt was forthcoming.
		But the drop kick, which does count for two or three points if it goes through the uprights, is punt like, especially if the ball is horizontal rather than vertical in the drop.

	Rugby union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However the ball may only be kicked from the ground: either from a place kick following the award of a penalty or from a drop kick in open play.
		Drop goals and penalty kicks are usually augmentors, a last resort against a steadfast defense or to punish ill-disciplined opposition.
		The kicking side frequently kicks the ball high and aims to drop it just over the 10 metre minimum, which is marked by a dashed line across the pitch.

	Drop kick (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In American football, one method of scoring a field goal was by "drop-kicking" the football through the goal.
		The kicker would drop the ball onto the ground, nose first, and then kick the ball when it bounced off the ground.
		This method of scoring worked well in the 1920s and 1930s, when the football was rounder at the ends.

	Teammates got a kick out of Flutie's drop - The Boston Globe
		What was coming was the first successful drop kick in the NFL since 1941 -- Patriots quarterback-turned-kicker Doug Flutie gathered the snap, bounced the ball around the 10-yard line, then booted it between the uprights for the extra point.
		McLean's drop kick came on an extra point in the Bears' 37-9 win over the New York Giants in the NFL championship game.
		The fact the last drop kick came in 1941 might have had some added meaning to Belichick, as that was the only year his father, Steve, played in the NFL.

	SportsFilter \| Doug's Drop Kick
		Before Doug Flutie's accomplishment on Sunday, the last "Drop Kick" in the NFL was an extra point on December 21, 1941 by Ray “Scooter” McLean for the Chicago Bears in a 37-9 win vs the New York Giants in the NFL Championship at Wrigley Field.
		Before mine in 1990 the last "drop kick" extra point in NCAA history was in 1950 by Gene Simmons of West Virginia, he kicked 19 of 20 extra points by drop kick that season.
		Since a drop kick is the only way to score points with the ball-in-hand from a kick, I'm a bit surprised they haven't been attempted on botched snaps.

		And the rules were changed to require the kicker to be behind the line of scrimmage, relegating the drop kick to a riskier version of a place kick or extra point.

		The splinter of ice in Jonny Wilkinson's soul was never more apparent than in the 100th minute of the biggest game in the history of English rugby, when he caught Matt Dawson's careful pass 30 metres from the Australian goalposts and took aim with his right foot.
		Here was the climax of the whole shooting-match, and the stadium was in a state of screeching pandemonium as he shaped to make the decisive three-point kick.
		As the rest of the team huddled together, listening to Martin Johnson's exhortations, Wilkinson was grabbing a ball and a plastic tee and marching down the field with only one thing on his mind.

		For the first time since 1941, an extra point was scored via a drop kick.
		In soccer aka football, when you kick the ball as a goalie, or clear the ball it typically does not hit the ground, hence is not a drop kick.
		While drop kicks were far more common in indoor soccer (which of course has different rules due to the smaller pitch and other factors), I've defintely seen drop kicks (ball touching the ground and barely coming up before being kicked) many times.
