American football

American football is a team sport played by two teams, 11 players in each team. The object of the game is to score points by advancing the football into the opposing team’s end zone. The ball can be advanced by carrying the ball, or by throwing or handing it from one teammate to the other. 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 on the opposing side. The winner is the team with the highest number of points when the time expires.

The game comprises of 4 periods, the duration of each is 15 minutes with the break after the second period. Each such period is called a quarter. In case of equal score in NFL games (National football league) additional 15 minutes (overtime) is assigned. In this case, the team who scores the points first wins the match. In a regular-season NFL game, if neither team scores in overtime, the game is a tie. In an NFL playoff game, additional overtime periods are played, as needed, to determine a winner.
