Now if your being serious. Something tells me you just might be, and know nothing about football.

Superbowl, last game of the year that matters, they do not go on to play others, Winner gets the glory.

Teams try to score either with a touchdown or fieldgoal. You get four downs (plays) to attempt to score or get 10 yards. If you get 10 yards your downs restart at 1 again and so on until you score or decide to punt.

Punts happen when the team with the ball feels it can not kick a field goal on the fouth down, so instead they kick the ball to the other team.

Touchdowns occure when the team crosses the goal line with the ball. Field goals happen when the team kicks it through the upright big yellow Y.


After a touchdown the team can try to kick an extra point (through the big yellow y) or try for 2 points by doing another single play to get past the goal line. Kicking an extra point is worth 1.

Touchdowns are worth 6. Fieldgoals worth 3. Extra point worth 1 unless they go for 2.


Side note of interest. The couch for the bucs (guys not in black) used to be the coach for the raiders (guys in black) last year.
Bucs have the number 1 defense in the league, Raiders have the number 1 offense. The old guy in the booth with the sunglasses is Al Davis, he owns the raiders. The quarterback for the Raiders is Gannon, he is the league MVP (most valuable player).

That should get you through the game.
