The slightest part of the ball touching or being directly over the goal line is sufficient for a touchdown to score.
The play is dead and the touchdown scored the moment the ball touches plane in possession of a player, or the moment the ball comes into possession of an offensive player in the end zone (having established possession by controlling the ball and having one or both feet depending on the rules of the league or another part of the body, excluding the hands, touch the ground). This particular requirement of the touchdown differs from other sports in which points are scored by moving a ball or equivalent object into a goal where the whole of the relevant object must cross the whole of the goal line for a score to be awarded. In all gridiron codes, the touchdown is scored the instant the ball touches or "breaks" the plane of the front of the goal line (that is, if any part of the ball is in the space on, above, or across the goal line) while in the possession of a player whose team is trying to score in that end zone. To score a touchdown, one team must take the football into the opposite end zone. In American football, a touchdown is worth six points and is followed by an extra point or two-point conversion attempt. Whether running, passing, returning a kickoff or punt, or recovering a turnover, a team scores a touchdown by advancing the ball into the opponent's end zone. The vertical yellow bar is part of the goal post.Ī touchdown (abbreviated as TD ) is a scoring play in gridiron football.
A portion of the end zone is seen as the dark strip at the bottom. Vince Young of the Texas Longhorns (ball carrier in top center) rushing for a touchdown.
