	American football - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Points can be scored in a variety of ways, including carrying the ball over the goal line, throwing the ball to another player past the goal line or kicking it through the goal posts.
		In collegiate and professional leagues, the extra point is usually preferred; its success rate is 94% in the NFL and 93.8% in the NCAA, compared to 43% in the NFL and 43.5% in the NCAA for two-point conversions.
		The offensive line (OL) consists of five players (two offensive tackles (OT), two guards (G), and a center (C)) whose job is to protect the passer and clear the way for runners by blocking members of the defense.

	Two-point conversion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In American football and Canadian football, a team may try to score a two-point conversion (score two points) instead of an extra point (one point) immediately after they score a touchdown.
		In a two-point conversion attempt, the team that just scored must run a play from the opponent's 3-yard line (or the 2-yard line in professional football) and try to advance the ball across the goal line as if it was a normal touchdown on fourth down.
		Although rare because of the infrequent use of the two-point conversion and because of the difficulty in returning the ball the full length of the field, this has proven the winning margin in football games.

		It is 630 kilometers from the Central American mainland, 150 kilometers from Cuba on the north, and 180 kilometers from the island of Hispaniola, on which Haiti and the Dominican Republic are situated, on the east.
		In American football and Canadian football, a two-point conversion is an extra point attempt where a team that has just scored a touchdown starts a play at the opponent's two- or three-yard line and tries to cross the goal line.
		The two point conversion rule has been a rule of college football since 1958 and more recently in Canadian amateur football and the Canadian Football League, and was one of many professional football innovations featured by the American Football League during its existence, but the National Football League did not adopt it until 1994.

	End zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A team scores a touchdown by entering their opponent's end zone while carrying the ball or catching the ball while being within the end zone.
		If the ball is carried by an offensive player, across the goal line, it is considered a score as soon as the ball crosses the imaginary vertical plane of the goal line, between the two sidelines.
		In addition, a two-point conversion may be scored after a touchdown by similar means.

	NFL Digest of Rules
		With the exception of the last two minutes of the first half and the last five minutes of the second half, the game clock will be restarted following a kickoff return, a player going out of bounds on a play from scrimmage, or after declined penalties when appropriate on the referee’s signal.
		The successful conversion counts one point by kick; two points for a successful conversion by touchdown; or one point for a safety.
		With the exception of the last two minutes of either half, the offensive team, while in the process of substitution or simulated substitution, is prohibited from rushing quickly to the line and snapping the ball with the obvious attempt to cause a defensive foul; i.e., too many men on the field.
