Breaking Down the TD

TD stands for a touchdown – football’s highest-scoring play. When a player carries or catches the ball in the opponent’s end zone, the team scores six precious points.

But here’s where it gets interesting: the scoring doesn’t always stop there. Teams can attempt an extra point kick (worth 1 point) or go for a two-point conversion, making each TD potentially worth up to 8 points.
