Simple Terms: American Football

American football is a team sport played on a rectangular field by two teams of 11 players each. The objective of the game is to score points by moving an oval-shaped ball down the field and into the end zone of the opposing team. 



Points are scored by carrying the ball across the goal line, catching it in the end zone, or kicking it through the goal posts. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins. American football is one of the most popular sports in the United States and is played at the high school, college, and professional levels.
