AMERICAN FOOTBALL

by Kostas Kochilas 

American Football is what many people confuse here in Greece as Rugby.  I have three words to say about this, it is not.  American Football is a sport in which there is an offensive part of a team and a defensive part which are both on the field at completely different times.  The offensive part of the team, goes on the field playing against the defense of the other team.  The objective of the offense is to score a touchdown which they do with special plays for the quarterback to pass the ball to a free player to run and make the touchdown (That is worth seven points).  The offense must have completed this task before the quarter ends, before an interception has happened, or before 4 tries have passed in which they had to get to different parts of the field but couldn’t because the defense has not allowed them to get through.  If any of these happens there is something called a turnover in which the other teams’ offense goes out to play with the defense. The defense on your team does the same thing that their defense did with same objective to make a turnover happen.

That’s about everything I have to say about American Football. Thank you for choosing to read my article over others and have an amazing day.
