American football, known in the United States simply as football, is a competitive team sport that rewards players' speed, agility, skill, tactics, and brute strength as they run and throw a ball, and block, tackle, and outrun each other, trying to force the ball further into their opponent's territory and ultimately into the endzone.
Football is also occasionally used by followers of the sports of Rugby Union, Rugby League, Gaelic Football and Australian Rules Football to refer to their sport.
The minor Arena Football League (1987-present) plays an indoor adaptation of American football, at a faster pace, on a smaller field with no built-in sidelines -- the edges of the grid are coincident with padded walls similar to those found in a baseball outfield.

American football does not much resemble soccer, the sport which most of the world calls "football".
However, both of these games have their origins in varieties of football played in England in the mid-19th century, and American football is directly descended from rugby football, usually known simply as "Rugby".

That is, American football tends to be interesting to me sometimes even if I do not care who wins, whereas a soccer match might only be interesting to me if I care which team wins, as in watching Olympic soccer.
Moreover, once an offensively weak team is behind by two or three goals, the game's outcome is pretty much determined because in hockey and soccer, as in four-corners basketball, there are not enough realistic scoring opportunities left in the game.
Similarly in a relatively strong offensive, high scoring sport, a game can get out of hand early if a stronger team gets ahead because there is not sufficient realistic opportunity to limit their continued offensive output later to catch up with them.

Among standard offensive formations, the basic T formation (a balanced line with the quarterback behind the center and the other backs behind the quarterback) is, with modern variations, the most popular in both amateur and professional football.

Offensive guard (OG)—the two guards are the offensive linemen directly on either side of the center and inside the tackles.
Except for the snap by the offensive center as each play from scrimmage starts, the only way an offensive lineman can get the ball during a play is by picking up a fumble.
Their function is to attack the passer or stop offensive runs to the outer edges of the line of scrimmage (most often referred to as "containment").

 Offensive philosophy (American football) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The approach to offense in American and Canadian football has splintered and evolved in the 100 years in which the modern form of the sport has existed.
In both plays, the offensive line would work to seal off a running lane for the back to use, and the running back would aim for this corridor rather than a specific pre-snap hole.
In both offensives the key to the offense is the lineman.

The approach to offense in American and Canadian football has evolved fairly radically over the 100 years in which the modern form of the sport has been in existence.
The "Run and Shoot" offense is a highly maligned offensive strategy that leverages 3 and 4 wide receiver sets, the shotgun formation, and backfield motion.
By forcing tighter coverage between the safeties and offensive players, the West Coast offense can pull the safeties toward the line of scrimage without running - and thus it can set up the long pass play with shorter passes.
