American Football

American Football is a team sport predominantly played in the United States, characterized by two teams competing to advance an oval-shaped ball into the opposing team’s end zone to score points. Each team consists of 11 players on the field at a time, and the game combines elements of strategy, physicality, and teamwork. The objective is to score touchdowns worth six points by carrying or catching the ball in the end zone, or by kicking field goals for three points. The game is played in four quarters, with teams alternating between offense and defense. American Football is governed by a set of rules that include the downs system, where the offense must advance the ball at least ten yards within four attempts to retain possession. The sport is known for its complex plays, formations, and roles for players, which range from quarterbacks to linemen. It culminates in high-stakes events like the Super Bowl, showcasing its significance in American culture.
